Performance Assessment

  • Chapter
Book cover Active Rules in Database Systems

Part of the book series: Monographs in Computer Science ((MCS))

Abstract

This chapter addresses performance evaluation of active database systems. We first analyze potential performance gains and losses of ADBMS applications in comparison to passive solutions, and identify performance-critical aspects of ADBMS’s. We then describe the Beast benchmark which has been proposed for measuring the performance of object-oriented ADBMS’s and present results obtained from running Beast on SAMOS. We conclude the chapter by identifying possibilities for optimizing ADBMS’s and tuning their applications.
