Let's get back to basics on this. I've had that problem before and the cure is or can be checking the ULIMIT for processes. If it (ULIMIT) is wide open then you certainly need to adjust ULIMIT. My trials were on SparcCenter 2000's with 20 CPU's each under Solaris 2.7. Your milage may vary :o) -phil
-----Original Message----- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Chick Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [AOLSERVER] tuning aolserver and nsv arrays We are using the nsv arrays of aolserver to handle a large load of queries. The application can be seen at http://results.doitsports.com/lasalle/2004/ With that application, we handled 1.7 million queries in a day (using 5 servers). We put 21MB worth of data into 39 arrays. Under a lot of load, the nsd process swells (just soaks up all available RAM (which is 2G on each box)) and hangs. There is no thrashing going on; the SIZE is just barely bigger than the RSS under top. We are using aolserver 4.0 on Linux version 2.4.25-grsec and having a hard time figuring out what the ideal configuration would be. We have tried adjusting the folllowing paramters: nsvbuckets (we've tried 8, 16, 32, 64) maxthreads (currently 20) We have not tried adjusting: stacksize Does anyone have any idea what the ideal config would be for this app? What should we set nsvbuckets to? Maxthreads?
