I understand, formatting the code is a matter of preference. Just adding my opinion I think, this is a good way for long properties, but for simple ones, and they are a lot, it makes the code somehow more complicated and scary. For example, TSynConnectionDefinition is a simple class, but with this new format, it looks like it has something tricky going on. Maybe, I am not used to it, but I thought it is good to share it with you.

What is the preferred version of Lazarus and FPC to work with version 2? Also can you please add Lazarus packages?
Offline
About the formatting, we rather sticked to a single formatting option everywhere.
Changing depending on the context is what we did with previous mORMot code, and it ended up to be difficult to maintain and read.
We currently use the same version as with mORMot 1.18.
That is, FPC 3.2 and Lazarus 2.10.

Thanks for the clarification about formatting.
I've got some problem with Trunk so I was asking the exact version.
There is no Lazarus 2.10 branch that I could find, do you mean 2.0.10 or 2.1.0 (Trunk)? If it is the second one, as it is the trunk can you give me the exact revision so I can debug?
BTW I am using FPCUPdelux.

Just tested, it works fine, Thank you.
Now I can try my test package. Although it has some problems with mormot.core.text being recompiled and lead to checksum changes.

I was trying to compare them and find out that V2 is slower in some cases.
Simple and transactional inserts in the SQLite database are the same, but it is slower when arrays come to play when using batch or memory databases. I tried a bigger number (1M) of records for the memory engine, and the results are the same.
Both tested with stable Lazarus on Win64, on release mode, and ran independently.
Can you please give them a check that if my results are valid?

I guess your timing difference is in the error range of your computer.
If you use a laptop CPU for instance, then you should be aware that timing is not to be trusted due to energy saving and turbo mode.
SQLite3 process is exactly the same, so performance should be identical.
TSQLRestStorageInMemory numbers are pretty weird for mORMot 1. I guess there is something wrong and nothing is actually inserted.
Here are some numbers about mORMot 1.18: https://gist.github.com/synopse/005068d … dae1c3da96
And the the tests on mORMot 2: https://gist.github.com/synopse/670ee98 … 002e877d3c
Some of the tests are not the same - but if the assertions count is similar, the tests are likely to be similar.
I run the mORMot 2 tests twice, and you can see that the numbers differ on the very same machine.
We may expect 10% difference from run to run. Especially if you have a browser and some VM running in the background (as I do).
Online
I am trying to discover V2 in attempting to match your samples in the blog and documents. That is the reason I can not make sure my code is correct. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I am running that exact code I shared before, maybe you can run them.
Also, testing in a PC with an i9 with configurated on full performance and trying the test at least five times before sharing with you. Both projects are in Release (-o3 and no debug) mode, and the V1 package is on -o3 optimization and no debug info. And of course, I am using the latest version pulled again now to be sure.
Here is the result for running only the Memory servers with much more (2M) inserts.
V1:
One: 2.03s, 1us, 982155
Transaction: 2.17s, 1us, 918703
Batch: 2.68s, 1us, 744059
Transaction & Batch: 2.58s, 1us, 773406
V2:
One: 2.01s, 1us, 993000
Transaction: 2.14s, 1us, 930859
Batch: 5.12s, 2us, 390090
Transaction & Batch: 2.86s, 1us, 698332
As you can see the big difference is in the Batch mode.
I checked the ram usage too, the V1 uses 550MB but V2 uses 1100MB.
Also please not that in my previous tests, even SQLite tests in V2 and Batch are slower, it is less than Memory engine difference as I am inserting 2K records.

OK.
I looked at the code.
First problem.
You should not call TransactionBegin manually before the batch process. Transactions are done within the batch process itself automatically.
Note that transactions are not implemented with the memory servers.
Second problem.
You compare TSQLRestStorageInMemory and TRestServerFullMemory which are not the same.
TRestServerFullMemory has a full REST process included.
So you should try to test with TSQLRestServerFullMemory instead.
Online
Thanks for the note about problem one. I did not know that and thought that because of posts Like https://blog.synopse.info/?post/2013/06 … cking-mode ("Batch Trans" column)
If I should not call TransactionBegin manually, why it speeds up the inserts in the "Transaction & Batch" test?
For the second problem, yes, that was the problem, and now both speeds are the same as TRestServerFullMemory is 2X slower.
Is TSQLRestStorageInMemory removed form V2? I could not find any note about it in the V2 code.
One question is still unresolved, why "Batch" test is slower in V2 even in TSQLRestServerDB?
Thanks.
Offline
It is called TRestStorageInMemory and implemented in mormot.orm.storage.pas.
Batch should not be slower in V2. This part of the code has been untouched.
Have you an idea where it may come from?
Online
I think you may like to add a TSQLRestStorageInMemory as a compatibility for V1 like the other classes.
Maybe you missed my question so I will ask again:
If I should not call TransactionBegin manually, why it speeds up the inserts in the "Transaction & Batch" test?
For the slowness, all the codes were the same, so it made me to look into the Batch code.
Everything look the same, although I recognizes changes in the JSON handling but anything I found had a sign of improvement in performance not slowness (Great!).
After a while I found out that this line looks weird:
MethodTable := PosChar(Method, '@');
I double checked it, and it seems disabling inline for PosChar, will fix the issue. At least in the test I sent because MethodTable will always be nil.
As of the reason, I do not know why exactly but for V1, FPC will warn that the function will not be inlined, but it will not warn for the V2, and it seems it tried to inline it but can not or made it worse. I couldn't investigate Asm code as the EngineBatchSend function is huge.

-O3 (Slow optimization), This is the default for the Release mode of Lazarus/FPC.

Also try the following version:
function PosChar(Str: PUtf8Char; Chr: AnsiChar): PUtf8Char;
begin
result := nil;
if Str <> nil then
begin
repeat
if Str^ = #0 then
exit
else if Str^ = Chr then
break;
inc(Str);
until false;
result := Str;

It is pretty weird that PosChar() is the bottleneck.
I have just reimplemented PosChar() using branchless SSE2 asm on x86_64.
Check https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/comm … 7404552a1a
Hope it helps.

Checked it and I can confirm that it is working fast now. On more than 10 tests, it was 95% speed of the V1 in the Batch test for TSQLRestServerDB and 120% for TSQLRestServerFullMemory.
I tried the two Pascal versions and they will be slower in the context of V2.
Thanks for the update.
Offline
With pleasure.

Thanks @okoba and @ab for these tests and improvements.
@okoba any particular reason for using the "aliases" for classes in V2?
Example TSQLRest instead of TRest.
Offline
I wanted to both code look alike so I can make sure that I'm testing the same code. For future work I will use V2.
Offline
I was a little bothered about why V2 is not faster, as it seems you optimized many parts, including JSON parts.
Investigating more, and find out that the new use of overloaded IdemPCharArray(Method, 'POPUDESI') will slow down the code.
I replaced it with the old IdemPCharArray(Method,['POST','PUT','DELETE','SIMPLE']), and it speeded up the "Batch" test more than 10% for TSQLRestServerDB and 25% for TSQLRestServerFullMemory.
For more info, doing old IdemPCharArray for 10M time takes 60ms, compared to 3000ms for V2.
If I wanted to go for a more aggressive path, I would use PosExChar(Method[1],'OUEI') or PosChar('OUEI',Method[1])^ as they are 2X faster than old IdemPCharArray, but in the context of "Batch" test, it will only improve near 5%.

https://gist.github.com/synopse/fd2265c … 83bdb49b3d
1.54ms 6493506
383us 26109660
The new variant with IdemPCharArray('DELETE', 'POPUDEUP') is more than 40 times faster...
So I don't understand where your speed difference comes from.
Online
Yes, in an isolated test. But In the context of EngineBatchSend function it acts slower for me. I tried this code:
//case IdemPCharArray(Method, 'POPUDESI') of
case IdemPCharArray(Method,['POST','PUT','DELETE','SIMPLE']) of
Just replacing this line will increase speed.
But in an isolated test, like below, new IdemPCharArray acts 3X faster as you say.

mormot.core.base,
mormot.core.perf,
mormot.core.unicode;

Because of our recent tests, I was thinking about how to have better comparison and benchmarking changes, and as D. Richard Hipp likes it for many things, including Fossil; I wanted to log the Tests in a DB. This way, I can recognize a leap/drop of speed and have a better way to query additional info about progress, and also, it is more fun to test and log code this way, and more future opportunities.
I started from your mormot2tests, first I wanted to inherit it, but it is tangled with the console log, so as a test, I did public some protected fields and made a test that stores a simple log.
Full implementation should use an improved TSynTest and more analytics, but as you said before, you like code more than talk, so here is sloppy code to showcase the idea.
Please let me know what you think.

Please follow the forum rules, and don't post huge piece of code in the threads.
Use gist as I did.
About such testing, we usually rather use real application logs for performance enhancements, not tests.
Regression tests tend to be not realistic, whereas logs on actual production servers gives good information.
There is already extensive statistics in both the ORM and SOA part of mORMot - with database-accessible calls stats for interface-based services.

Done.
What you explained is necessary for real life tasks, but difficult to find changes in small methods and tests.
The idea was, mORMot has a big test suit, maybe storing it in a DB gives a useful development analytics tool.
Thanks for the feedback.

@ab:
in mORMot2 survey you also asked how to continue with source code management and there were many answers to also keep fossil as scm (at least in parallel to github). Just for curiosity: do you intend to set up also a fossil repository for mORMot2 in future?
Thanks a lot and have a nice evening!
