MySQL + 2 x Intel Xeon (6 cores) performance problem
Posted by: Alex Bizal

Hello.

We've bought a new server for using it like MySql server.

Configuration:
Motherboard: Supero X8DTL-6
CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5645 Six-core (12M Cache, 2.4 GHz, 5.86 GT/s IntelĀ® QPI, LGA1366).
Intel SSD 320 Series 120Gb (SSDSA2CW120G3)
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Debian 6 (64 bit); CentOS-6.2; Windows7;
MySQL 5.5 (5.0, 5.1)

But we've got an issue when tried to run MySql in multithread mode on the Intel Xeon E5645.
Different builds and fine-tuning haven't given any result.

For testing we used 'mysqlslap' with following parameters:
mysqlslap --concurrency=64 --iterations=1 --number-of-queries=10 --query=/var/tmp/query.sql --create=/var/tmp/create.sql --delimiter=";"

Testing results:
- 2CPU x 12cores(physical + HT) = 24 cores : query execution time - 12s
- 2CPU x 2cores(physical + HT) = 4 cores : query execution time - 7s
- 2CPU x 1core(physical) = 2 cores : query execution time - 5s
- 1CPU x 1core(physical) = 1 core : query execution time - 4s

The same tests on the AMD Phenom 2 (6 cores) took 3.5s
Please, help us to solve this issue.

additional:
While running the tests, all cores are 100% loaded;
- when we tested on 24 cores, 80% of load went for system needs and 20% for testing process;
- on the 1 core configuration: 1% was taken by system and 99% by testing process;



We are looking forward for hearing from you.
