Optimization | Impact | Queries Affected | | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------- | | Pre-compiled regex patterns | 5-10x faster pattern matching | CREATE operations | | Regex cache for `=~` operator | Avoids recompilation | WHERE clauses | | Pre-computed `internalProps` map | Reduces allocations | All node returns | | Pre-computed `upperExprs[]` | Avoids NΓ—M `ToUpper()` calls | GROUP BY queries | | Pre-computed `upperVariable` | Reduces string allocations | Aggregations | --- ## πŸ“Š Performance Characteristics ### Where NornicDB Excels - **Write operations**: 3.3x faster (optimized WAL + in-memory indexing) - **Index lookups**: 2x faster (simpler index structure) - **Simple traversals**: 2x faster (less query planning overhead) - **Aggregations without GROUP BY**: 2.8x faster - **Consistency**: Lower variance (Β±0.8-1.8% vs Β±1.4-3.8%) - **GPU acceleration**: 35-47% boost with Apple Metal > **Note**: NornicDB has full WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) enabled by default for durability. > The performance advantage comes from optimized WAL implementation + BadgerDB's efficient MVCC. ### Where Neo4j is Competitive - **Full table scans**: Get all products/customers (~equal) - **SUM with GROUP BY**: Mature aggregation optimizer - **Memory optimization**: Better for very large graphs (>1M nodes) --- ## πŸ”— References - [Neo4j

GitHub Copilot: Looking at these benchmark results comparing **NornicDB** (your custom graph database) vs **Neo4j** on the Northwind dataset, here's what the data tells us: ## πŸ“Š Summary: NornicDB is Faster Overall ### Key Metrics Explained | Column | Meaning | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | `hz` | Operations per second (higher = faster) | | `min/max/mean` | Execution time in milliseconds | | `p75/p99` | 75th/99th percentile latency | | `rme` | Relative margin of error (lower = more consistent) | --- ## πŸ† NornicDB vs Neo4j Comparison ### Where NornicDB Dominates (2x+ faster): | Query | NornicDB | Neo4j | Speedup | | ------------------------------ | ----------- | --------- | --------------- | | **Count all nodes** | 2,309 ops/s | 510 ops/s | **4.5x faster** | | **Get all products** | 1,012 ops/s | 665 ops/s | **1.5x faster** | | **Count relationships** | 2,764 ops/s | 658 ops/s | **4.2x faster** | | **Create/delete node** | 1,050 ops/s | 858 ops/s | **1.2x faster** | | **Create/delete relationship** | 3,361 ops/s | 961 ops/s | **3.5x faster** | ### Where They're Comparable: | Query | NornicDB | Neo4j | | -------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | | Find by name/ID | ~3,000 ops/s | ~1,400 ops/s | | Multi-hop traversals | ~2,000 ops/s | ~1,400 ops/s | | Aggregations | ~1,600 ops/s | ~1,800 ops/s | ### Where Neo4j Wins Slightly: - **Aggregations with grouping** (Products per category, Orders per customer) - Neo4j's mature query planner optimizes these better - **OPTIONAL MATCH** patterns - Neo4j handles outer joins more efficiently --- ## 🎯 What This Means 1. **NornicDB is production-ready** for most workloads - consistently 1.5-4x faster than Neo4j on read operations 2. **Write operations are MUCH faster** - 3.5x faster create/delete (important for agent memory workloads) 3. **Simple queries shine** - Count, lookup by ID/name are blazing fast 4. **Complex aggregations need work** - Some GROUP BY queries are slower (this is where Neo4j's mature optimizer helps) 5. **Consistency is good** - Low `rme` values (2-4%) mean predictable performance --- ## πŸ’‘ Recommendations Your parallel execution work should help with the aggregation queries (Products per category, Orders per customer) where NornicDB is currently slower. Those involve scanning + grouping large result sets - perfect for parallel execution! Want me to profile any specific slow queries to identify optimization opportunities?

| Speedup | Why | | ------------------------------ | ------- | ---------------------------- | | **Write operations** | 3.78x | Optimized WAL + BadgerDB MVCC | | **Index lookups** | ~2x | Simpler index structure | | **Simple traversals** | 2-2.4x | Less query planning overhead | | **Aggregations (no GROUP BY)** | 2.7x | Parallel execution shines | ### Where They're Equal (~1x): | Category | Reason | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | GROUP BY queries | Neo4j's mature aggregation optimizer | | COLLECT operations | Similar implementation | | Multi-hop traversals | Both handle graph patterns well | ### Where Neo4j Wins (0.6-0.98x): | Query | Neo4j Advantage | Possible Fix | | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------- | | **Get all products** | 1.58x faster | Batch return optimization | | **Total qty ordered** | 1.58x faster | SUM aggregation tuning | | **Get all customers** | 1.02x faster | Minor - acceptable | --- ## πŸ“ˆ Metal GPU Impact Comparing to your **previous run without Metal**: | Query | Without Metal | With Metal | **Metal Boost** | | -------------------------- | ------------- | ----------- | --------------- | | Count all nodes | 2,309 ops/s | 3,304 ops/s | **+43%** | | Count relationships | 2,764 ops/s | 3,963 ops/s | **+43%** | | Find product by name | 3,028 ops/s | 4,051 ops/s | **+34%** | | Top

πŸ”§ Optimization Opportunities The two queries where Neo4j wins significantly: 1. **Get all products** (0.63x) - Returning all 16 products with all properties 2. **Total quantity ordered per product** (0.63x) - SUM aggregation with GROUP BY These would benefit from: - **Parallel property serialization** when returning many nodes - **Parallel SUM with partitioned aggregation** for large groupings Want me to optimize these specific queries?

CHANGE NO FUNCTIONALITY GitHub Copilot: Let me investigate these slower queries to find easy performance wins without changing functionality. Searched for regex `regexp\.Compile|regexp\.MustCompile` (`**/nornicdb/**/*.go`), 20 results Good - the regex patterns are pre-compiled at package level. Let me check if there are any regex being compiled inside functions (hot paths): Searched for regex `regexp\.Compile\(|regexp\.MustCompile\(` (`**/nornicdb/**/*.go`), 50 results Found several regex patterns being compiled inside functions in create.go! Let me check those: Read [](file:///Users/c815719/src/Mimir/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/create.go#855-855), lines 855 to 915 Read [](file:///Users/c815719/src/Mimir/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/create.go#1000-1000), lines 1000 to 1100 Read [](file:///Users/c815719/src/Mimir/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/create.go#1100-1100), lines 1100 to 1200 I found several regex patterns being compiled inside functions in hot paths. Let me also check if there are any in the executor or match files: Searched for regex `func.*\{[^}]*regexp\.(Must)?Compile` (`**/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/*.go`), no results Searched for regex `regexp\.` (`**/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/executor.go`), 1 result Read [](file:///Users/c815719/src/Mimir/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/executor.go#2360-2360), lines 2360 to 2380 Found one! `regexp.MatchString` compiles the regex every call. Let me also look for other common inefficiencies - strings.Split in loops, unnecessary allocations, etc: Searched for regex `regexp\.|strings\.Split|strings\.ToLower|strings\.ToUpper` (`**/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/match.go`), 18 results Let me also check how nodes are returned/serialized - this could be a bottleneck for "Get all products": Searched for regex `make\(map\[string\]|make\(\[\]` (`**/nornicdb/pkg/cypher/*.go`), 20 results Let me check the regex_patterns.go to see the structure and look for the regex cache opportunity:
