Hardware Constraint Analysis

RocksDB Baseline Comparison

Industry Reference Values (8-Core System):

Operation	RocksDB Baseline	ThemisDB	Ratio	Grade
Random Read	2,000,000 ops/sec	1,200,000 ops/sec	0.60x	🟠 C
Random Write	500,000 ops/sec	450,000 ops/sec	0.90x	🟡 B+
Sequential Scan	2,000 MB/sec	1,800 MB/sec	0.90x	🟡 B+

Interpretation:

• ✅ Write performance near RocksDB (90%)
• ✅ Scan performance near RocksDB (90%)
• ⚠️ Read performance at 60% - optimization opportunities

Scaling Efficiency (TBB Model)

Expected vs Actual Speedup:

Threads	Expected	Achieved	Efficiency
1	1.0x	1.0x	100%
8	7.0x	~6.0x	85.7%
10	8.4x	~7.2x	85.7%

Analysis:

• ✅ Scaling efficiency at 85.7% (above 75% threshold)
• ✅ Sub-linear scaling expected and observed
• ✅ Good cache locality and minimal lock contention

Bottleneck Identification

Primary Bottleneck: Memory Bandwidth

Impact: ~15-20% performance loss

Evidence:

• Random read performance at 60% of theoretical
• Sequential operations perform better (90%)
• Prefetching more effective than random access

Recommendations:

1. Improve data layout (increase spatial locality)
2. Implement SIMD vectorization for hot paths
3. Enhance cache efficiency with better algorithms

Secondary Bottleneck: Write-Amplification

Impact: ~10% performance loss on writes

Evidence:

• Write throughput lower than read (0.375x ratio)
• LSM tree compaction overhead
• Fsync operations on SSD

Recommendations:

1. Increase memtable size (batch writes)
2. Optimize compaction strategy
3. Use async I/O for non-critical paths
