Redis和Memcached在Ruby上的性能评测（1）—

因为memcached只支持String数据类型，所以本文只比较String，redis支持的其他数据类型不做评测，另外关闭了redis持久化特性！因为redis的持久化是另起后台任务进行，所以数据量小的时候不会对测试结果有明显影响。

测试环境：
[quote]REDHAT6.0 x86_64
Ruby Enterprise Edition version 1.8.7-2010.02
memcached 1.4.4
redis-2.4.6
Gems:
memcached(1.3.5)
hiredis (0.4.4)
[/quote]

相关配置：
memcached：-m 1024 -c 1024 -t 8
内存：1G，并发连接：1024，线程数：8

redis：默认配置，其中持久化数据部分关闭
loglevel warning
#save 900 1
#save 300 10
#save 60 10000
rdbcompression yes

测试方式：随即生成1000byte内的字符串，写入10万次。
memcached代码：


require 'rubygems'
require 'memcached'
@cache = Memcached.new('localhost:11211')
100000.times do |i|
  @cache.set "Test/#{i}", '0'*rand(1000)
end

redis测试代码：


require 'rubygems'
require 'hiredis'
@cache = Hiredis::Connection.new
@cache.connect("127.0.0.1", 6379)
100000.times do |i|
  @cache.write ['SET', "Test/#{i}", '0'*rand(1000)]
  @cache.read
end

结论：
1、memcached的写入性能还是明显要高于redis，特别是多并发的时候，优势更明显！
2、redis server的占用一般在50％左右，memcached server的CPU占用150%左右
3、从总体CPU占用率上来说，redis的优势很明显，4核CPU的使用率没有超过20％，而memcached的CPU一直在50％左右。
