The FairCom Server supports grouping transaction commit operations for multiple clients into a single write to the transaction logs. Transaction grouping, or commit delay, is a high performance optimization for environments with large numbers of clients sustaining high transaction rates. Commit delay takes advantage of the overhead involved in flushing a transaction log. The performance improvement per individual thread may result in only milliseconds or even microseconds, however, multiplied hundreds of times over hundreds of threads and thousands of transactions per second, this becomes quite significant.
Effect of commit delay on transaction commit times for multiple threads:
FairCom has supported commit delay logic for many years and continues to optimize and enhance the effectiveness of the transaction grouping logic. For example, in recent FairCom DB editions, the commit delay is self-adjusting and numerous heuristics and statistics have been added to constantly monitor and report the effectiveness of the current commit delay state.
