Memcached mcperf

This is a test of twmperf/mcperf with memcached, a distributed memory object caching system.

This pts/mcperf test profile for memcached is deprecated. Instead use the pts/memcached test profile for better evaluating the Memcached CPU/system performance with its memtier_benchmark setup.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark mcperf.

Use with caution this test profile is currently marked Deprecated.

Revision History

pts/mcperf-1.4.1   [View Source]   Fri, 19 Aug 2022 14:44:33 GMT
Deprecate pts/mcperf as the pts/memcached test profile works better for stressing system/CPU benchmark.

pts/mcperf-1.4.0   [View Source]   Thu, 21 Jan 2021 10:44:16 GMT
Update against latest upstream for build fix.

pts/mcperf-1.3.0   [View Source]   Mon, 09 Mar 2020 14:03:32 GMT
Update against memcached 1.6.0 upstream.

pts/mcperf-1.2.0   [View Source]   Sat, 07 Mar 2020 13:57:26 GMT
Update against latest memcached upstream, fix root, allow option for selecting connection count.

pts/mcperf-1.1.1   [View Source]   Wed, 03 Oct 2018 19:14:56 GMT
Add patch to allow memcached benchmark to work as root.

pts/mcperf-1.1.0   [View Source]   Wed, 03 Oct 2018 08:28:45 GMT
Update against memcached 1.5.10, which also fixes the older test failing to build on newer Linux distributions/compilers (GCC8).

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Memcached mcperf 1.6.0

Method: Get - Connections: 1

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 90 public results since 9 March 2020 with the latest data as of 19 November 2020.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Memcached mcperf 1.6.0 - Method: Get - Connections: 1) has an average run-time of 3 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
