TPC-C
Overview
Follow the steps below to run the TPC-C workload against YugabyteDB YSQL. TPC-C is a popular online transaction processing benchmark that provides metrics you can use to evaluate the performance of YugabyteDB for concurrent transactions of different types and complexity that are either executed online or queued for deferred execution.

1. Prerequisites
Get TPC-C binaries
To download the TPC-C binaries, run the following commands.
$ cd $HOME
$ wget https://github.com/yugabyte/tpcc/releases/download/2.0/tpcc.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf tpcc.tar.gz
$ cd tpcc
Start the Database
Start your YugabyteDB cluster by following the steps here.
Tip
You will need the IP addresses of the nodes in the cluster for the next step.2. Configure DB connection params (optional)
Workload configuration like IP addresses of the nodes, number of warehouses and number of loader threads can be controlled by command line arguments.
Other options like username, password, port, etc. can be changed using the configuration file at config/workload_all.xml, if needed.
<port>5433</port>
<username>yugabyte</username>
<password></password>
3. Best practices
Latest TPCC code: Use the latest enhancements to the Yugabyte TPCC application. You can either download the latest released version, or, to get the very latest changes, you can clone the repository and build from source.
Pre-compacting tables: Pre-compact tables with the yb-admin utility's compact_table command.
Warming the database: Use the --warmup-time-secs flag when you call the execute phase of the TPCC benchmark.
4. Run the TPC-C benchmark
TPC-C Load Phase
Before starting the workload, you need to load the data. Make sure to replace the IP addresses with that of the nodes in the cluster.
$ ./tpccbenchmark --create=true --nodes=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3
$ ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3
| Cluster | 3 nodes of type `c5d.large` |
| Loader threads | 10 |
| Loading Time | ~13 minutes |
| Data Set Size | ~20 GB |
The loading time for ten warehouses on a cluster with 3 nodes of type c5d.4xlarge is approximately 3 minutes.
TPC-C Execute Phase
You can run the workload against the database as follows:
$ ./tpccbenchmark --execute=true \
--nodes=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3

TPC-C Load Phase
Before starting the workload, you need to load the data. Make sure to replace the IP addresses with that of the nodes in the cluster. Loader threads allow you to configure the number of threads used to load the data. For a 3-node c5d.4xlarge cluster, loader threads value of 48 was optimal.
$ ./tpccbenchmark --create=true --nodes=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3
$ ./tpccbenchmark --load=true \
--nodes=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3 \
--warehouses=100 \
--loaderthreads 48
| Cluster | 3 nodes of type `c5d.4xlarge` |
| Loader threads | 48 |
| Loading Time | ~20 minutes |
| Data Set Size | ~80 GB |
Tune the --loaderthreads parameter for higher parallelism during the load, based on the number and type of nodes in the cluster. The specified 48 threads value is optimal for a 3-node cluster of type c5d.4xlarge (16 vCPUs). For larger clusters or computers with more vCPUs, increase this value accordingly. For clusters with a replication factor of 3, a good approximation is to use the number of cores you have across all the nodes in the cluster.
TPC-C Execute Phase
You can run the workload against the database as follows:
$ ./tpccbenchmark --execute=true \
--nodes=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3 \
--warehouses=100

TPC-C Load Phase
Before starting the workload, you need to load the data. In addition, you need to ensure that you exported a list of all IP addresses of all the nodes involved.
For 10k warehouses, you would need ten clients of type c5.2xlarge to drive the benchmark. For multiple clients, you need to perform three steps.
First, you create the database and the corresponding tables. Execute the following command from one of the clients:
./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --create=true
Once the database and tables are created, you can load the data from all ten clients:
| Client | Command |
|---|---|
| 1 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=1 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 2 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=1001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 3 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=2001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 4 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=3001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 5 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=4001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 6 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=5001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 7 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=6001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 8 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=7001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 9 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=8001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
| 10 | ./tpccbenchmark --load=true --nodes=$IPS --warehouses=1000 --start-warehouse-id=9001 --total-warehouses=10000 --loaderthreads 48 |
Tune the --loaderthreads parameter for higher parallelism during the load, based on the number and type of nodes in the cluster. The value specified here, 48 threads, is optimal for a 3-node cluster of type c5d.4xlarge (16 vCPUs). For larger clusters, or computers with more vCPUs, increase this value accordingly. For clusters with a replication factor of 3, a good approximation is to use the number of cores you have across all the nodes in the cluster.
Once the loading is completed, execute the following command to enable the foreign keys that were disabled to aid the loading times:
./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --enable-foreign-keys=true
| Cluster | 30 nodes of type `c5d.4xlarge` |
| Loader threads | 480 |
| Loading Time | ~5.5 hours |
| Data Set Size | ~4 TB |
TPC-C Execute Phase
Before starting the execution, you have to move all the tablet leaders out of the node containing the master leader by running the following command:
./yb-admin --master_addresses <master-ip1>:7100,<master-ip2>:7100,<master-ip3>:7100 change_leader_blacklist ADD <master-leader-ip>
Make sure that the IPS used in the execution phase does not include the master-leader-ip.
You can then run the workload against the database from each client:
| Client | Command |
|---|---|
| 1 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=1 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=900 |
| 2 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=1001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=900 |
| 3 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=2001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=900 |
| 4 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=3001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=900 |
| 5 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=4001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=900 |
| 6 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=5001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=720 --initial-delay-secs=180 |
| 7 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=6001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=540 --initial-delay-secs=360 |
| 8 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=7001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=360 --initial-delay-secs=540 |
| 9 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=8001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=180 --initial-delay-secs=720 |
| 10 | ./tpccbenchmark --nodes=$IPS --execute=true --warehouses=1000 --num-connections=300 --start-warehouse-id=9001 --total-warehouses=10000 --warmup-time-secs=0 --initial-delay-secs=900 |
TPC-C Benchmark Results
When the execution is completed, you need to copy the csv files from each of the nodes to one of the nodes and run merge-results to display the merged results.
Once you copied the csv files to a directory such as results-dir, you can merge the results as follows:
./tpccbenchmark --merge-results=true --dir=results-dir --warehouses=10000
| Cluster | 30 nodes of type `c5d.4xlarge` |
