I continue my benchmarks of Intel SSD 910, the raw IO results are available in my previous experiment. Now I want to test this card under MySQL workload to see if the card is suitable to use with MySQL.
- Server: Dell PowerEdge R710
- CPU: 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz
- Memory: 192GB
- Storage: Fusion-io ioDrive 640GB, Intel SSD 910 (software RAID over 2x200GB devices)
- Filesystem: ext4
- OS: Ubuntu 12.04.1
- MySQL Version: Percona Server 5.5.27-28.1
- Benchmark name: tpcc-mysql
- Scale factor: 2500W (~250GB of data)
- Benchmark length: 2h, but the result is taken only for last 1h to remove warm-up phase
Results
There is graph of Throughput taken every 10 sec:
Jitter graph:
Or to have final results I take total amount of transactions for 1h:
| BP size | Fusion-io | Intel SSD 910 | Ratio (fio/i910) |
| 13 GB | 397157 | 352750 | 1.13 |
| 25 GB | 724011 | 497769 | 1.45 |
| 50 GB | 1466559 | 1124223 | 1.30 |
| 75 GB | 2464135 | 1939415 | 1.27 |
Conclusion
In conclusion I see that Intel SSD 910 handles MySQL workload quite well, I did not face any problem working with this card.
Level of stability of results is about the same as with Fusion-io card. The performance of Intel SSD 910 is about ~30% worse, but
it is expected for this price level. I think Intel SSD 910 is suitable to use with MySQL / Percona Server.
Link to raw results and stats
Raw results, config, OS and MySQL metrics are available from Benchmarks Launchpad.
