Re: COLD RUNS

Instead of avoiding OS cache, I suggest using a bigger test dataset, and queries that force the OS to read the files from disk instead. Avoiding OS cache in eg: Linux is not straightforward AFAIK. On 09/10/2014 01:58 PM, amihay gonen wrote:

you can always try to restart the machine ,it might be longer , but you'll be sure no caching is in O/S level (btw, caching might be also at storage level if you got smart storage )

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. I will do the same as you have instructed. I have one more question regarding the same issue. I am also implementing the same on Postgres (Row-store database) and I also have the same problem with that. Please let me know if you know any tool which flushes the cache in postgres.

Thanks in advance. Prashant

Hi Prashant,

MonetDB does not cache query results, definitely not across client sessions, let alone across server restarts.

You operatings systems file system might do caching, though. Please refer to you file system and/or OS documentation for information on how to flush/empty these caches.

Best, Stefan
