Performance limitations of a text search application running in cloud instances
1. Performance limitations of a text search application running in cloud
instances
Abstract:
This article analyzes the performance of MySQL in clouds based on commodity
hardware in order to identify the bottlenecks in the execution of series of scripts
developed on the SQL standard. The developed scripts were designed in order to
perform text search in a considerable amount of records. Two types of platforms
were employed: a physical machine that serves as host and an instance within
a cloud infrastructure. The results show that the intensive use of a relational
database presents a greater loss of performance in a cloud instance due
limitations in the primary storage system that was employed in
the cloud infrastructure.
