SSB Benchmark

The Star Schema Benchmark (SSB) is a widely adopted analytical benchmark derived from TPC-H. It serves as a cost-performance evaluation standard tailored for analytical workloads. The SSB defines 13 query scenarios that evaluate an analytical database’s performance from multiple dimensions.

This benchmark compares the SSB performance of YMatrix, Greenplum, and CloudBerry in single-table analytical query scenarios.

Test Conclusion

Based on the execution of all 13 queries over a 100 GB SSB dataset, YMatrix delivers 118× faster performance than Greenplum and 145× faster performance than CloudBerry in terms of total query time.

Test Setup

Hardware Configuration

All three systems—YMatrix, Greenplum, and CloudBerry—were deployed on identical hardware:

VM 1 VM 2 VM 3
CPU 32 cores 32 cores 32 cores
Memory 128 GB 128 GB 128 GB
Storage 1 × SSD 4 × SSD 4 × SSD
Segment Nodes 4 Primary (4P) 4 Primary (4P)

Note: The cluster uses 2 segment hosts (VM2 & VM3), each running 2 primary segments (total 4P).

Test Results

The table below shows the execution latency (in milliseconds) for each of the 13 SSB queries.
The columns CloudBerry / YMatrix and Greenplum / YMatrix represent the speedup ratio—i.e., how many times slower CloudBerry or Greenplum is compared to YMatrix. Higher values indicate better performance by YMatrix.
