Comment on The Bw-Tree: A B-tree for New Hardwareparent

Comments

I use it in a private project. For comparison, here's the difference between touch-all-bytes and touch-no-bytes using the Python binding:

    random lookup 1000000 buffers in 1.82sec (550928/sec)
    random lookup+hash 1000000 buffers in 2.52sec (397189/sec)
This was using 100 byte values.

Could it be that your test is dominated by Python speed, given that their tests show 15-30 million operations per second but your test only half a million? Or is their hardware so much faster?
