Strategic Differentiation – Informix TimeSeries

� WHO– IBM– AMT-SYBEX (IBM Business Partner; provider of

solutions for Energy & Utility companies

� WHAT– Joint benchmark test of AMT-SYBEX’s MDM

solution (Affinity MeterFlow) using IBM Informix TimeSeries software to manage smart meter data

– Tests conducted using a single IBM POWER7®system, utilizing 16 cores.

� WHEN and WHERE– Performed at the IBM Power Systems Benchmark

Center; Montpellier, France– August 2011

A New Meter Data Management (MDM) Performance Benchm ark



MDM Benchmark Demonstrates Business Value

� Faster processing of meter data means faster business processes that use that data

– Achieved daily billing calculations of 21,000 bills per minute while concurrently running the data load

� Significant reduction in storage requirements– Total storage required for one month of interval and

register data for 100 million meters was less than 4TB– Average throughput exceeded 420,000 records per

second in meter data load using standard storage disks

� Consistent, scalable performance yields highly predictable costs

– Daily end-to-end processing times remained constant for 100 million meters over a 31-day period, irrespective of the amount of data stored –Storage requirements remained linear over time



Informix TimeSeries – Success with leading MDM providers

. “We feel that the Informix TimeSeries technology lends itself extremely well to the performance characteristics, data types and high-volume processing required for the next generation of smart metering and smart grid applications.”- David Hubbard, CTO and co-founder of Ecologic Analytics

MDM offers scalability to 100 million smart meters

“Performance testing results of AMT-SYBEX’s Affinity Meterflowmeter data management (MDM) application using IBM Informix TimeSeries software has demonstrated the capability to offer linear scalability up to 100 million meters to load and process meter data at 30-minute intervals in less than 8 hours.”

Row Oriented Data Store

• Optimized for record I/O

• Fetch and decompress entire row, every time

• Result –

• Very efficient for transactional workloads

• Not always efficient for analytical workloads

If only few columns are required the complete row is still fetched and uncompressed

Columnar Data Store (Conceptual View)

If attributes are not required for a specific query execution, they are skipped completely.

• Data is compressed sequentially for column:

•Aids sequential scan

•Slows random access

How do I compress a table?Using OAT

11/16/2012 Template Presentation - Session Z99 55



Index Compression� Up to now, Informix only offered data, i.e. table compression

� Primary goal for Index Compression:–Scans require less I/O–More data fits into buffer cache

Syntax:

create compressed index …

|--+-DISTINCT-+ ‘CLUSTER-’ ‘COMPRESSED-’

11/16/2012 Put your data on a diet – C01 56

• Compression only for leaf index nodes

• No Row ID (RID) compression

• Index entry is uncompressed (in memory) for comparison

• Dictionary based compression (same as table compression) to favor key only scans found in most OLTP applications



Automatic Compression – OAT Interface

11/16/2012 Template Presentation - Session Z99 57



Automatic (Table) Compression� Compression of data partitions (no index/blob compression)

� Compress data rows as they are loaded

� When a load exceeds a threshold (2000 rows as default), the compression process starts (by building a dictionary)

� All subsequent rows inserted will be compressed

Considerations:

� Supports all loaders that use Inserts or Light Append

� Light append – once dictionary is created, all rows will be compressed (including old ones)

� Normal Insert – compresses all subsequent rows after dictionary is created

Syntax: CREATE TABLE …. COMPRESSED



59

Dynamic Configuration Tuning-Provide system administrator facilities for Informix to configure and tune itself without shutting down for changing a configuration parameter

-Provide developers a process to plug/unplug configuration parameters

-Onmonitor is retired

-Removed the following params:

-AFF_NPROCS, AFF_SPROCS, RA_THRESHOLD, BUFFERS, LRU_MIN_DIRTY, LRU_MAX_DIRTY, LRUS, NOAGE, NUMAIOVPS, NUMCPUVPS, PHYSDBS, JDKVERSION

-Adds onmode –wi

-Import params from a config file, modify params in the file that are tunable and ignore others

-Adds onmode –we

-Export a “snapshot” of the current server config to a file that can be used as a configfile

-Adds onstat –g cfg

-Analyzes the Configuration Value (CV) table

-Additional Admin API tasks

-Execute function task(“modify config”, “<name>”, “<new value>”);
