Hello,
Had an inquiry regarding ns-slapd, was multi-threading always
supported from the first public release?
Yes.
I’ve seen ns-slapd (an older version) sit pegged at or near 100% CPU
utilization on a multi-core Xeon system.
Would like to know if you can repeat that with 1.2.10.4. If so, please
provide platform and details, and a reproducer if possible.
I’ve read elsewhere that someone has seen it hit 200% on a 2 way Xeon
system (from 2007)

Sure. Enabling a very verbose log level will cripple the server
performance.
There are obviously other factors in terms of the DB, what you are
doing, in terms of add or add+delete; however was curious if there was
an a parameter or a compile time setting that enables/disables
threads, if the default was always to use multiple threads(?) or is it
the case that there are other non-optimized parameters being used that
would not allow ns-slapd to utilize the other N number of cores?
The directory server does not know or care about how many cpus/cores are
in the machine. It relies on the native threading library and the
kernel thread schedule to allocate threads among the cpus/cores.
See
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Configuration_Command_and_File_Reference/Core_Server_Configuration_Reference.html#cnconfig-nsslapd_maxthreadsperconn_Maximum_Threads_per_Connection
There is also a "hidden" attribute nsslapd-threadnumber. By default
this value is 30. You might be able to achieve better throughput for
your use case by setting this to 2*number of cores on your machine. We
would be interested in hearing your results if you try this out.
Justin.
