Re: High-Performance Frameworks

And we do not need asoForceConnectionFlush option at all. Even on modified libpq PQGetResult will internally call flush first. In rawqueries pConn.Flush; can also be removed
Please, see this PR

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

For a while the best /asyncfortunes result I was able to achieve is for servers=CPUCount*2, thread per server =1, pinned

# taskset -c 0-15 ./raw12 -s 32 -t 1
....
num servers=32, threads per server=1, total threads=32, total CPU=48, accessible CPU=16, pinned=TRUE

taskset -c 31-47 ./wrk -H 'Host: 10.0.0.1' -H 'Accept: application/json,text/html;q=0.9,application/xhtml+xml;q=0.9,application/xml;q=0.8,*/*;q=0.7' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --latency -d 10 -c 512 --timeout 8 -t 16 "http://localhost:8080/asyncfortunes" 
Requests/sec: 482751.02  

This is +25%, what is very VERY good, but I almost sure I need to play more with parameters...

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

For DB queries, you need to use more cores for ./raw and less for wrk.

Perhaps https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/35dbef14
makes sense.

I guess there are some missing files in your PR.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Now I have merged your PR.

I did miss the line about Flush - now I got it.

My next step is to create a new per-connection ExecuteAsyncPrepared() method, in addition to the current per-properties pattern.
As a result, there should be no lock at all during the DB requests. The responses would be handled by a new async thread, one per connection thread, so one per core.
My guess is that we could try to have a more regular threading model, perhaps with a single server, and no pinning.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Just tested current implementation - for a while best results is with `-s CPU*2 -t 1 -p`. /acyncdb and /asyncfortunes is faster (+25%) compared to rawdb/fortunes.
I can wait while you implement  `ExecuteAsyncPrepared`, or update TFB PR with current implementation  - what is your opinion?

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

BTW - modification to libpq, similar to our is applied by Postgres reviewers and  should be included into Postgres v17 (in ~1 year). Next h2o test should also use modified libpq what do not flush on every sync.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Yes, better have a round with the first algorithm of async writings.
I won't be able to deliver something stable until the next round.
smile

-s CPU*2 -t 1 -p
makes somehow sense - but is a pretty weird setting for sure.

Nice seeing the modified libpq.
We could identify the new endpoint and use it with a "pre-release" build - which no one could argue against. This is just the future official version.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Your MR has been merged.
We will see in the next round what's up with the initial async process.

Here is some new threading model for async process, with one async/pipelined connection per thread (in addition to the default non-pipelined connection per thread).
This thread and connection is only initialized if async methods are used - so there is no change for regular/non-pipelined connections.
Please try https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/44cc2507
and https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/6b4e1a98

From my tests, it gives better results with a single instance and no pinning nor affinity, and around 2-8 threads per cpu core.
It makes sense to me that several instances, and core pinning may not be mandatory for the best performance: we could let the Kernel to its scheduling job...

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Tested new async implementation on 2X Xeon(R) Silver 4214R CPU @ 2.40GHz. Each component limited by taskset to use, first 16 CPU for app, second 16 CPU for db and third 16CPU for wrk - to emulate three TFB servers)

Result is better than initial async implementation (first table row). The best values is still for -s 32 -t 1 -p mode

See table - on google drive

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Thanks a lot for the numbers!
cool

Which I don't fully understand, to be honest: with -s 32 my guess would be that the new raw14 implementation would be slower than the previous raw12.

But anyway, it sounds like a good step up in respect to the non-async version of the code.
big_smile

We could try a round on TFB HW with -s 32 -t 1 -p then at least two rounds with -s 1 -t 64, one with hsoThreadSmooting and another without.
(with 32 or 64 numbers changed to match the TFB core counts, of course) wink

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

I also do not fully understand the numbers, but  we have what we have. TFB results for first async implementation should appears at 2023-05-11, after this I'll made a PR with new implementation and one more test case for async, se we will verify both `-s CPU*2 -t 1 -p` and `-s 1 -t CPU*4` cases

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

I submitted this issue https://github.com/TechEmpower/Framewor … ssues/8205 to TFB.

Some of the frameworks or benchmarks are clearly cheating and are no robust HTTP servers at all.  mad
Therefore, I proposed to validate if the server is able to properly respond to HTTP/1.0 or Connection: Close input
My guess is that a few framework should be marked as "Stripped" and disappear from the benchmark ranking - until the most basic HTTP behavior is implemented.
Some of the buggy/unrealistic benchmark are part of the top #20 - e.g. several rust implementations or even some asp.net core.

If you find it meaningful, you can comment on the issue too.
Even propose a simple script to validate the fact (I am not fluent in bash/grep). wink

I guess we will appear soon in https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ … d7dc0a0f74
And I hope we will be higher with the asynchronous database requests. cool

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Numbers for this round did appear.
Not as good as I hoped. sad

They are pretty weird, not consistent with what we expected by using taskset on our hardware.
The async version is not faster than the blocking version, apart for the updates.
This is exactly the contrary of what we observed with taskset: no benefit for updates, but faster db/queries/fortunes.
My best guess is that
1) this first async mode was using a single async connection per server, which is not scaling so well.
2) pinning was not beneficiary at all with the async way of execution - or we should also pin the async thread.
3) the raw config was not properly setup for async (to be verified in the logs when they will be available)

But thanks to the updates better numbers, we are now higher in the composite ranking. We should be in the top #10 now. smile

@mpv
Perhaps we could now make a MR with the current state of the framework and raw source, i.e. with the new async code.
With whatever config `-s CPU*2 -t 1 -p` or `-s 1 -t CPU*4` you want.
I would not be surprised that `-s 1 -t CPU*4` would be better than we measured before.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

I understand why updates is better for async - this is because of less concurrency - in fact on my environment I also got ~23K fro updates..
I will made new PR today with latest sources and new async test-case with  `-s 1 -t CPU*4`
And YES - we are in TOP10 now!!!!  Congratulations!!!!

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

New MR 8207 based on latest sources and a new test case `-s 1 -t CPU*2 -nopin`  is ready.
I use `unnest` pattern for /asyncUpdates (as in prev. MR), because your implementation fails on ?queries=501 test (too many parameters). In /rawupdaes we use if count>20 - use `unnest` else use `select from values`, but unnest works well, IMHO.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Nice!
It makes sense to to use "unnest" - especially because this is what previous async did - with pretty good numbers.
And the new test case would give use result within the next round, without the need to wait for another one.

Perhaps https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/37fe0d8d may help for updates too.
It would reduce the number of memory allocations during the array binding.
Worth trying on the next MR. big_smile

Hope they will merge the request before the next round. wink

Edit: perhaps https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/f58c289e would help a little better too.

Edit2: I have added binary array binding for 32-bit and 64-bit parameters.
https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/fa3cd430
But from my tests, it is not really faster - as you already stated.

It is a very "hot" summer in my country, something burns every day (the occupiers, thank God, have more).
I decide to set [async] test back to  `-s 28 -t 8 -p` mode - this gives us a best results for `/update` (~23k), even if we do not fully understand a reason.
See PR 2803
Perhaps I will return to optimization closer to September

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Official TFB Round 22 expected in August 2023. I expect we will  be #7 in composite score rating.
BTW in last run we #1  in Cached queries - see https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ … ched-query

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

To be #7 would be just amazing, because some top frameworks are more like proof-of-concept than a versatile software solution.

The cached queries efficiency is a good show case of what mORMot could do.

Thanks a lot mpv for the feedback and hard work.
BTW we pray and wish the best for you and your family.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Just to ask, why doesn't sqlite be used for this test? smile

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Because the TFB team does not support it as a database.
Note that PostgreSQL is the main DB used by top frameworks tests, because it is the best scaling option.

Also because in order to maximize network performance, we create several instances of our HTTP server class in the process, so we share the DB among all those instances.
This is not the best pattern for SQLite3.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

https://tfb-status.techempower.com/ is up and running, but the current results are very strange - almost all frameworks (including mormot) lost up to  20% of RPS in /json and /plaintext, except two (with no changes in sources). It looks like "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" (hope I'm wrong)

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

After a while, they seem to have relocated the servers, and start running the tests again.
Nice @mpv to have you back online.

The run is not yet finished, but you are right: we seem to have a slight regression about /plaintext queries:
https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ … =plaintext
We were used to be around 7M requests / second, as the best frameworks, and now we have 5.5 M / second.
I don't think it is a regression about our async server, because we still use the source code commit from last may.
There may be some weird artifact during the tests on their server... we will wait for the next rounds to see more clearly about the situation.

Perhaps they tuned the machine to favor asp.net... which is their sponsor IIRC. wink

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

@ab, something is wrong with asyncserver or dbpull!
Running /rawdb wrk test (/db,/asyncdb also) ./raw -s 8 -t 8, total threads 64, I expect 64 connection to postgresql, but only 56 found.
DBPull conections are servers*(threads-1), not servers*threads!
Running ./raw -s 8 -t 4, only 24 connections, not 32
You can check active statements/connection with:
SELECT * from pg_stat_activity WHERE query='select id,randomNumber from World where id=$1'
When raw start we have 8 (servers) connections from main thread to load cache. Running wrk create servers*(threads-1) connections.
Main thread connections + threads connection = servers*threads, but worker threads use only s*(t-1).
Source /ex/techempower-bench, pull 2 days ago, 23.08.2024
raw -s 8 -t 8, htop show 81 threads.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

@ttomas
I would say it is as expected.
One the reading threads (R0) is reserved for the epoll queries, and does not make any DB connection.

Look at the threads names in htop (enable the thread names in htop setup by F2): you will see a e.g. 8 sets of A, R0..R7, W threads for "-s 8 -t 8" parameters.
A is for the "accept" blocking process. W is the for asynchronous writes of huge content (never used during TFB). R0 is the epoll thread. R1..R7 are the processing threads.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Not expected. What about "-s 8 -t 1" vs "-s 8 -t 2", both use same number of dbpull connections 8, -t1 (10K req/sec, 25 threads) , -t2 (7K req/sec, 33 threads). For -t 1 look like R0 make db connections?

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

For -t 1 the single R0 thread does everything.

Note that for localhost tests, -s 1 should be used.
There is no benefit of multiple instances outside of several PCs configurations, i.e. the clients outside the server PC.
The setup of several instances and threads is very specific to the TFB hardware, which does not match a realistic usecase.

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Update:

We finished #10 in this round.
https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ … =composite
cool

But the results seems weird, because there were some regression in respect to the previous rounds, not only for us (/plaintext from 7M/s to 5M/s) but for a lot of frameworks.

In short: we did "less regress" than other frameworks. So we went up from #11 to #10 rank.

We will see what the next round offers us.
I just hope that the TFB system will be stable enough to resume as in its previous setup. wink

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

TFB people did clearly something wrong with their new Citrine HW or SW setup.
No framework reaches 7,000,000 /plaintext requests per second any more.
https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ … =plaintext

In the previous setup, a lot of frameworks did overload the network interface, and were thresholding at 7,000,000 requests per second.
Now, asp.net core is at the top and no one is above 5,700,000 RPS.

I have created an issue - but with no real hope we could get any explanation...

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

The performance issue was due to aggressive sound proofing they did on the servers: they lacked proper ventilation, so the CPU did throttle...
I therefore closed the issue, which was well handled by TFB people! I should have hoped better. wink

With the last two rounds, top frameworks (including mORMot) are back at 7,000,000 requests per second for /plaintext and the composite scores are as they were.
https://tfb-status.techempower.com/
Now mORMot is back at 12-13th rank in composite score: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ … =composite big_smile

Perhaps @mpv we could make some new trials with the latest source code of the framework, because some fixes and optimizations have lately been included.
But since the next official round is around the corner (probably beginning of October), we may rather stay idle, and keep the source as it is. They won't accept any PR anyway until round 22.
https://github.com/TechEmpower/Framewor … 1728477796 states "we'll look to start the round run on 10/3."
Including our little mORMot this time!
We will see what the ranking becomes with some newly computed weights for this round - https://github.com/TechEmpower/Framewor … -algorithm

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Let's keep source as is for a while - in any case, they will not be merged until Round 22.
I expect what mormot [async] demonstrate the same updates results as in run from 2023-05-20 and we'll be #7, because all conditions is the same from our side, but we have what we have sad
At least there will be something to work on in Round 23 smile

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Official Round 22 is completed and will be published soon. We are #12 in composite scores. Unfortunately cached-queries is not completed (server crashes with double free). So some memory problem is still exists. We are lucky what cached-queries not counted in composite section...
@ab - please, see https://github.com/TechEmpower/Framewor … ssues/8501 - maybe you have the inspiration to write some blog article?

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

I have made some modifications to the HTTP async server.
Perhaps it could scale a little better. At least, some obscure regressions about HTTP/1.0 have been fixed - Apache Bench was not working any more!

I have tried to find out what occurs about /cached-queries memory issues.
Sadly I was not able to reproduce it at all... so any input is welcome!

We have now identified that the remaining bottleneck is for single row "select", i.e. /db or /fortunes, which are around 60% of the top frameworks, whereas other endpoints are 90% or more.
There may be a way to enhance the performance of such queries.

Anyway, I have also disabled HTTP pipelining by default, for security reasons.
There is a new hsoEnablePipelining to be set for our TFB server code:
https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/comm … fad3cf123c

@mpv Could you make a pull request because this is a breaking change and would affect our numbers?

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

PR 8612 is ready.

/cached-queries memory issues occurred too rarely (once per 10 TFB run) - I also can`t reproduce it on my environment

As for the performance of single select, I'm afraid that the only way to improve it is to switch the Postgres connection to non-blocking mode (PQsetnonblocking).
But IMHO this requires a huge rework of the framework to become event driven:
- we need a .NET-like pool of database connections (with minimum and maximum size) that is not based on the thread ID (threadSafeConnection), but manages a list of all connections to one database and can provide the user with an unoccupied connection (or block if all connections are busy)
- Ideally, the database connection sockets waiting for the result should be in the same epool as HTTP sockets, so we need a callback-based event loop backed by an epoll (like in libuv). This is a complete redesign of the current HTTP server architecture

Another IMHO:
  An event-driven, callback-based architecture is the only choice we have with FPC. But it's a road to callback hell. I know very well what this means because I worked with callbacks in early JS for 5 years, up until Promises. Any complex logic based on callbacks is hell.

So my suggestion is to stay where we are. After all, we are now in the top 3 for ORM, and our code is production-ready unlike many others on TOP

Re: High-Performance Frameworks

Yes, you are right, the problem comes from the fact that we use a per-thread Postgres connection, even for the async callbacks.
Then each async connection, as owned by TSqlDBPostgresAsync, has its own TSqlDBPostgresAsyncThread, waiting for the process to happen.

What we could do, for the async methods only:
1) switch to a connection pool, and not a per-thread connection
2) switch to a one background thread per connection to a single background thread, but using epoll to monitor all the pending async connection statements.

Then no need to hack anything else in the web server or whereever...
