MBTA pathology explanation #61

Closed takikawa closed 9 years ago

takikawa commented 9 years ago

I don't think we explain the weird pathologies in the MBTA benchmark yet right? We should probably explain that, but not sure where the best place to put that is.

The numbers in the paper are actually for the "fixed" mbta, without the concurrency issues (before, it was just a flat line).

So the benchmark doesn't actually run queries asynchronously, but at least allocates a new thread for each query (done in run-t)

(define (run-query str)
  (run_t input-port output-port)
  (displayln str)
  (read-to EOM))
