NYSE TAQ Benchmark — Hardware Comparison

Results show query (and data load) performance statistics of KDB-X (q-sql) running the same benchmark on different machines. Data resides in memory, so query execution in this benchmark primarily tests memory and CPU performance. Hover over a machine to see the hardware it stands for.

Detailed Comparison

Load Times[1]

[1] The "load a partition into memory:" phase duration depends primarily on disk speed, not CPU/memory performance. It can be ignored when comparing machines in this in-memory benchmark.
