In this chapter we will define our expectations, applying the developed Cache to \glsentrylong{qdp}. To measure the performance, we adapted code developed by colleagues André Berthold and Anna Bartuschka for evaluating \gls{qdp} in \cite{dimes-prefetching}. \par

The benchmark executes a simple query as illustrated in Figure \ref{fig:eval-simple-query} which presents a challenging scenario to the cache. As the filter operation applied to \texttt{a} is not particularly complex, its execution time can be assumed to be short. Therefore, the Cache has little time during which it must prefetch, which will amplify delays caused by processing overhead in the Cache itself or from submission to the Work Queue. This makes the chosen query suited to stress test the developed solution. \par
|
|
|
|
With this difficult scenario, we expect to spend time analysing runtime behaviour of our benchmark in order to optimize the Cache and the way it is applied to the query. Optimizations should yield slight performance improvement over the baseline, using DRAM, and will not reach the theoretical peak, where the data for \texttt{b} resides in HBM. \par
