Pentium MPP for OLTP applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thispaper describes a multi-Pentium architecture with a hierarchical memory and an II0 bus subsystem. On a board-level, this architecture achieves a very high-level of integration, by accommodating 8 Pentium processors with up to 2 Gigabytes of RAM. This hierarchical architechue has been extended to support multiple boards in a single cabinet as well as multiple cabinets connected via reflective memory.

MPP UNIX enhancements for OLTP applications
This paper describes an MPP UNIX in terms of goals, implementation and initial experience in using it lo port OLTP applications. Most MPP Unix systems strive towards the goal of a conventional but massively scaled up shared memory multiprocessor. In reality this goal has never been achieved without compromising scalability or fault-tolerance. The Infinity architeclure achieves scalability with ...

The buffer manager is integral to the performance, scalability, and reliability of Oracle’s Universal Dam Server, a high performance object-relational database manager that provides robust data-management services for a variety of applications and tools. The rich functionality of the Universal Data Server poses special challenges to the design of the buffer manager. Buffer management algorithms...
متن کاملPerformance Characterization of a Quad Pentium Pro SMP Using OLTP Workloads1
Commercial applications are an important, yet often overlooked, workload with significantly different characteristics from technical workloads. The potential impact of these differences is that computers optimized for technical workloads may not provide good performance for commercial applications, and these applications may not fully exploit advances in processor design. To evaluate these issu...
متن کاملPotentiality of Power Management on Database Systems with Power Saving Function of Disk Drives
Power consumption of modern datacenters is increasing rapidly. Databases, especially OLTPs, have become a major application at datacenters. Therefore, power-saving management for OLTP applications has become an important task for user budgets and datacenter operations. A recent report described that disk drives consume about 70% of total power of IT equipment when such large OLTP applications a...
متن کاملNavier-Stokes Computations on Commodity Computers
In this paper we discuss and demonstrate the feasibility of solving high-fidelity, nonlinear computational fluid dynamics (CFD) problems of practical interest on commodity machines, namely Pentium Pro PC’s. Such calculations have now become possible due to the progress in computational power and memory of the off-the-shelf commodity computers, along with the growth in bandwidth and communicatio...
