Benchmarks

The benchmarks use Java microbenchmark harness to provide an accurate analysis. The caches are configured as,

  • Caffeine and ConcurrentLinkedHashMap size their internal structures based on the number of CPUs
  • Guava was configured with a concurrency level of 64 (defaults to 4 to reduces memory usage). Note that Guava #2063 would resolve the poor performance, but has been backlogged for years (up to 25x faster!).
  • Ehcache v2 is internally hardcoded to 100 segments, whereas v3 is not segmented
  • Infinispan "old" is a Guava-like cache configured with a concurrency level of 64
  • Infinispan "new" is a rewrite using a lock-free deque (default in v7.2+)

Desktop-class

Run on a MacBook Pro i7-4870HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 core) 16 GB Yosemite.

Compute

In this benchmark the caches are unbounded, fully populated, and the computation returns a constant value. This benchmark demonstrates the overhead due to locking when the entry is present. Caffeine performs a lock-free prescreening before falling back to an atomic compute if absent call. The scenarios graphed are all threads retrieving a single entry ("sameKey") and threads retrieving different keys based on a Zipf distribution ("spread").

Read (100%)

In this benchmark 8 threads concurrently read from a cache configured with a maximum size.

Read (75%) / Write (25%)

In this benchmark 6 threads concurrently read from and 2 threads write to a cache configured with a maximum size.

Write (100%)

In this benchmark 8 threads concurrently write to a cache configured with a maximum size.

Server-class

The benchmarks were run on an Azure G4 instance, the largest available during a free trial from the major cloud providers. The machine was reported as a single socket Xeon E5-2698B v3 @ 2.00GHz (16 core, hyperthreading disabled), 224 GB, Ubuntu 15.04.
