RE: Latch 'parallel query qref latch'

2001-06-15 Thread Ben Jones


Jon,

Thanks for the email.  My next question is fairly obvious...I'm getting a 
lot of waits on this latch (up to 5% of all waits) - how do I tune it ?  
(We've got a pretty typical environment here, a few big tables with parallel 
degree 4, on a 2 cpu box with 2G of RAM, and only a couple of end users 
doing big queries)...

Any guidelines (from anybody) would be much appreciated...

TIA
Ben

Ben:

The qref latch is obtained for each Parallel Query process. It
is acquired before the queue buffers can be manipulated so that
communication can take place between the various slave processes.
The latch is acquired for putting messages into the buffer. You
will generally see lots of misses for this latch since it is
acquired with a nowait option.

 Does anyone know what causes waits on this latch ?

Re: Latch 'parallel query qref latch'

2001-06-15 Thread Jon Walthour

Ben:

As I said in my previous post, you may get a lot of waits on this latch and
that is not necessarily something to be overly concerned about. However, you
can lower this number by increasing the PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS parameter. This
is the maximum number of servers that are allowed to exist concurrently. Set
the value to:

(max # of concurrent PQO users) * (their max degree of parallelism) * 2

HTH!

inter process communications between groups of parallel query server
processes.
