performance measures

i should do some comparison of a fuseki store based application with 
others with rel db or proprietary dbs. i use fuseki and tdb stored on an 
ssd or a hard disk.

can i simplify measurements with putting pieces of the dataset in 
different graphs and then add more or less of these graphs to take a 
measure? say i have 5 named graphs, each with 10 million triples, do 
queries over 2, 3, 4 and 5 graphs give the same (or very similar) 
results than when i would load 20, 30, 40 and 50 million triples in a 
single named graph?

is performance different for a named or the default graph?

are there some rules which queries are linear in the amount of data in 
the graph? is it correct to assume that searching for a triples based on 
a single condition (?p a X) is logarithmic in the size of the data 
collection?

is there a document which gives some insight into the expected 
performance of queries?

thank you for any information!

andrew

Thank you for the good advice!

The argument is to show that triple store are fast enough for linguist 
application. five years ago a comparison was published, where a 
proprietary data structure excelled. i would like to show that 
triple-stores are fast enough today. I can perhaps get the same dataset 
and the same queries (at the application level), but i have no idea how 
cache data was accounted; it seems that results differed between runs.

i guess I could use some warmup queries, sort of similar to the 
application queries for the test and then run the test queries and 
compare with the previously produced response times. If the response 
time is of the same order of magnitude than before, it would be shown 
that triple-store is fast enough.

Does this sound "good enough"?

This is so true, and it's not even a complete list. It might be better to approach the problem from the application layer. Are you able to put together a good suite of test data, queries, and updates, accompanied by a good understanding of the kinds of load the triplestore will experience in production?

Query performance is approximately the same for GRAPH.
Update is slower.

Any measurements would be unreliable at best and probably worthless.

1/ Different data gives different answers to queries.

2/ Caching matters a lot for databases and a different setup will cache 
differently.

thank you for the information; i take that using teh indexes  a 
one-variable query would be (close to) linear in the amount of triples 
found. i saw that TBD does build indexes and assumed they use hashes.

i have still the following questions:

1. is performance different for a named or the default graph?

2. can i simplify measurements with putting pieces of the dataset in 
different graphs and then add more or less of these graphs to take a 
measure? say i have 5 named graphs, each with 10 million triples, do 
queries over 2, 3, 4 and 5 graphs give the same (or very similar) 
results than when i would load 20, 30, 40 and 50 million triples in a 
single named graph?

thank you for help!

Re: performance measures

For example, the TIM in-memory dataset impl uses 3 indexes on triples and 6 on quads to ensure that all one-variable queries (i.e. for triples ?s <p> <o>, <s> ?p <o>, <s> <p> ?o) will be as direct as possible. The indexes are hashmaps (e.g. Map<Node, Map<Node, Set<Node>>>) and don't use the kind of node directory that TDB does. 

There are lots of other ways to play that out, according to the balance of times costs and storage costs desired and the expected types of queries.

Why should it be logarithmic? The complexity of matching a single BGP
depends on the implementation. I could search for matches by doing a
scan on the whole dataset - that would for sure be not logarithmic but
linear. Usually, if exists, a triple store would use the POS index in
order to find bindings for variable ?p.
