Effectiveness of Memory according to Buffer Size
Jae‐Hwan Lee, Younghun Lee · 2013
This paper compared and analyzed efficiency of each storage medium, by changing the size of data buffer caching in a memory, after connecting DBMS with a storage medium. According to the result of the test, both performances of storage media increased, as the buffer size was greatly reduced. Seeing that D-SSD's performance and HDD's performance changed from above 1GB and 2GB, respectively, it is supposed that there is no need to cut down the buffer size infinitely, because performance doesn't change from a certain section, although it improves, as the buffer size highly decreases. It isn't necessary to expand the buffer size greatly under the small load, since there was no change of performance, even when the buffer size was greatly increased under the small load. While D-SSD also can maintain its performance without any big change, if it exceeds the scope of capacity that the buffer can process, HDD and NBD benchmark test, for small loads for reading, printing out, or searching posts, it is necessary to reduce the two storage media largely.
