de the Pentagon. Hilarious. News is finally
leaking out how the US warplan for Iraq lacked (until
recently) specific benchmarks. Rapid changes in course can
be characterized as flexibility if those changes are slaved to defined
objectives. If those objectives don't exist, it's chaos.
Of course, these new benchmarks are classified. This
means that they are effectively useless in this conflict. In
order to fight a decentralized insurgency, decision making must be
pushed down to the lowest levels. Every soldier in Iraq should
know what these objectives are so they can adapt their effort to
accomplish them.
The top U.S. officer in Iraq, Army
Gen. George Casey, lately has been garnering plaudits behind the
scenes from his military and civilian colleagues for adding measurable
benchmarks to his campaign plan, a classified document in which a
commander typically delineates security objectives and how subordinate
units will attain them. But some officials say the nearly two-year
delay in laying out clear and realistic security goals in a single
military plan has taken a toll on the Iraqi stability and
reconstruction effort.

02/05/2003 12:19 PMExcellent! John Lim did some benchmarking with ADOdb and DBX. Before
this, I was a bit worried that the reason people are not using DBX is
because it is slow. We now have some proof that it isn't. Now we know
that there is no technical reason not to position DBX as a standard
PHP DB wrapper.

05/14/2004 03:25 PMAnd finally I end this marathon blogging session with another one
of our PeepAgg team members - Chris Schmidt.
Chris did the FOAF module for LiveJournal and is now working on
getting PeepAgg into Drupal.
:-)
Here's his post....
ApacheBe
nch testing of XML Parsing. So, I've been working on a project
called PeopleAggregator,
and we've been talking about integrating with a lot of different
platforms, among them Drupal. (For
the record, this is completely unrelated to the MT stuff that went on
today. I may write on that later, but really, everyone else has said
what I would in a million different ways.) Anyway, we were talking
about RAP and
how it's too bulky and slow to work for what we need.
So, we
got a guy on the team - Joel De Gan, who's working on the PeoplesDNS project for us, and he
offered to write us a parser. This is going to be a replacement for
RAP, for those of us who can't deal with the slowness of
RAP.
Now, I don't know much about RAP. And I don't know much
about PHP, or parsing XML, or really anything - I pick up the bits I
need to know as I go along. So I'm just kind of standing on the
sidelines, but today, I got a demo of what Joel's parser can
do.
LiveJournal FOAF files are typically big. Mine is no
exception - over 100 friends, random contact data, etc. All in all, a
40KB document about me. I want to parse this data. So I attempt to
using both RAP and Joel's parser.
To alleviate network traffic
conditions, I copy the file I want locally. To simulate the action of
opening a file and reading it, I did keep it on the webserver, so I
will admit there may be some kind of bias in that, but I used the
exact same method to open the file in both cases (fopen) so I don't
think that's an issue that would cause any major difference. I also
disabled all printed output.
Anyway, I used this file to check
the parsers. Using ab (apache benchmarking utility - fetches a page a
bunch of times and tells you how long it took). Using a 50 request
check, I got averages on the two parsing utilities:
Joel De
Gan's XML parser, parses data into a multileveled array as displayed
at http://crschmidt.net/parse/
parse.php (source
available):
Requests per second: 11.25 [#/sec]
(mean)
Time per request: 88.92 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:
88.92 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
(Full
Stats)
RAP, parses into RDF models. (source, + RAP. The
parser isn't actually here):
Requests per second: 1.35 [#/sec]
(mean)
Time per request: 739.82 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:
739.82 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
(Full Stats)
So,
we've got a parser that to a guy like me seems simpler to use
(advanced data structures are part of the limited experience I did get
from LiveJournal), is lightweight (one file, as opposed to 256 in
RAP), and faster by an order of magnitude.
That, to me, sounds
like a winner. Props to Joel for his great work. His next step is to
implement OWL capabilities into RDF parsing, and that's going to kick
even more ass. As Eric said at one point about this: "Be still my
beating heart." By crschmidt@livejournal.com.

Comparison: If you ever wanted to know which Linux database option
was the fastest, the guys over at SQLite have done some tests. No
surprises: SQLite wins, MySQL is
second, with PostgreSQL
trailing the pack.
Note to Access users: MySQL
can do 25,000 inserts in two seconds. SQLite can do it in less than
one second. While Access is great for desktop work, I shudder to
think how it would stack up in this test.
I'd be interested to see where Firebird
fits in this scale.

03/17/2005 04:02 AMWith new video cards in hand, we've come back to provide you with more
details about how Aspyr's Macintosh conversion of Doom 3 runs. This
should give Mac gamers a more general idea of how well the game
performs on a high-end Mac system. To that end, we've now tested the
game with several graphics cards: ATI's Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition and
Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition cards, Apple's Nvidia 6800 Ultra
card and the stock Radeon 9600XT card that came with our test system.
