The MonetDB.spec file is part of the source tree, so you can take a look there.

It basically uses the default for CentOS 7. Try: rpm -E %optflags to see what the default flags are on CentOS 7.

Hi Daniel,

I would probably download some source packages like SRPMS or whatever the DEB equivalent is and have a look at the configure options in them.

Hi,

I'm currently building and testing MonetDB on CentOS7, x86_64.

I was wondering about the recommended compiler version and compiler
flags.

So far I'm using gcc 9 and specifically enabled SSE3 extensions
(though I did not notice any performance gain).

Here's my cmake command
cmake3 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="pthread -msse3 -O -Wall"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install ../MonetDB

Is there a list of recommended compiler flags?

Kind regards,
Daniel

Although still unfinished, I can informally share some results from benchmarking MonetDB as follows (pseudo-bash).

for RELEASE in Nov2019 Jun2020 for CC in gcc clang for OPT in "-O2" "-O3" for ARCH in "" "-march=skylake -mtune=skylake" # "" = default, "skylake"=the architecture I tested on # compile ...

for WORKLOAD in tpc-h text spinque for COMPILATION in (those above) for OPT_PIPE in default_pipe no_mitosis_pipe sequential_pipe for RUN in cold hot # test ...

This was on a 16GB 4-core i7 with SSD disk. As for workloads, tpc-h was sf 10, "text" is a benchmark on string-oriented functionalities (tokenization, string similarity, etc.), and "spinque" (still to be expanded) is a small collection of real queries that we run on Spinque - very long and nested generated SQL queries, rich of aggregations and string operations, typically on skewed data distributions.

I wanted to write a nice blog about these experiments, but if things stay as they are it would be a very boring blog. This is my main finding so far: while the choice of optimization pipeline can have a big impact on some queries (for some queries mitosis helps a lot, for others is a real pain), I have found NO significant difference amongst all the compilation options, in no workload.

I hope it helps. Roberto
