This is a whiteboard presentation and is less well developed than the talk I gave a the MySQL conference (I posted those slides two days ago. But since it includes audio it may be easier [...]

Published on 12 September 2009 by bradley in TokuView

I saw Mark Callaghan’s post, and his graph showing miss rate as a function of cache size for InnoDB running MySQL. He plots miss rate against cache size and compares it to two simple models: A linear model where the miss rate is (1-C/D)/50, and A inverse-proportional model where the miss rate is D/(1000C). He [...]
