RE: Binding a process to a CPU .

2001-05-22 Thread Mohan, Ross

Why would one think on a database server
that one could manage run queues better 
than Unix?

I *do* understand a (tiny) bit about onchip
processor cache and register/pipeline flushes, 
but I think the value of having all processors
available to the scheduling algorithm outweighs
that. 

I once knew a guy from Sequent who would probably
be able to paper-napkin me source code in Dynix/ptx
that would support this claim, but he is on vacation
only working 60 hours a week now. 

Anyway, I'd experiment with affinities, but track
results carefully, and only then decide.

sounds like fun workgood luck, buena suerte, mit gluck, 
bon chance, et cetera

RE: Binding a process to a CPU .

2001-05-22 Thread John Kanagaraj

Hi Shreepad,

I would strongly support Steve Guru Adams in not binding Oracle processes
to CPU unless they have real-time priority. The problem is this : Although
you may save on context switching, you are necessarily telling the process
that it can only use one particular CPU even if others are available. What
this means is that (unless it has real-time priority) the bound process
*cannot* kick out another process that is holding the CPU and is executing
some code that does not require it to context switch (i.e. it is not
requesting I/O). If the other process was a CPU bound job, it will not
relinquish the CPU until it finished it's time slot - a series of such jobs
will effectively take away the gains that you obtain by saving on context
switches. 

Liken this to going to a particular counselor (for whatever advise) - you
don't need to explain your woes everytime since he or she already knows your
case (i.e. no context switching). However, you may *possibly* have to wait
for a long time in case another 'chatty' counselee (is there such a word?)
is occupying your counsellor (i.e. a CPU intensive process) and will not get
out unless kicked out due to expiration of the time slot.

In short: Processor binding works (when supported by the OS) well *only* for
CPU bound tasks not for a CPU-I/O combination-type process such as the
Oracle backgound processes. And before I quit : YMMV.

Hth,
John Kanagaraj

PS: Haven't I heard of you at the Revealnet pipeline?
