[perf-discuss] FX vs TS scheduler for databases (OLTP)

2008-04-28 Thread przemolicc
Hi all, I have encountered mixed opinions regarding which scheduler is better for OLTP databases (mainly: Oracle). Solaris Internals site http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/FX_For_Databases http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/Application_Specific_Tuning#Tuning_Recommendation

Hey Dude, I pulled down a copy of your test program and ran a few experiments. $ time ./xml 10 iter in 22.715982 sec real0m22.721s user0m22.694s sys 0m0.007s This seems to indicate that all of our time is being spent in usermode, so whatever it is in Solaris that is slower than L

Howdy, I have been working with one of our developers to port a Linux application to opensolaris. While benchmarking the app, we noticed that it ran 2x slower on a Nevada build 85 host than it did on Linux. The application utilizes libxml to transform XML documents, and I think we have narrowed do

Hi, while running several storage performance tests using filebench (OLTP workload), it occurs to me that it would be good to have ability to put "redo logs" (files used by log writer) on another, separate filesystem. I know that it is perhaps possible by moving (and linking) files created by file
