Sun SPARC Solaris: New World Record 30,249,699 tpmC Source: Transaction Processing Performance Council, www.tpc.org as of 12/2/10. Oracle Sun SPARC T3-4 server cluster, 30,249,688 tpmC, $1.01/tpmC, available 6/1/11. IBM Power 780 Server, 10,366,254 tpmC, $1.38/tpmC, available 10/13/10. HP Integrity Superdome-Itanium2, 4,092,799 tpmC, $2.93/tpmC, available 8/6/07.

World Record Datawarehouse Results 3TB TPC-H on M9000 with 64 processors
64 processors 1.94x faster than 32 processors (1)(2)

As of March 22, 2011: (1) SPARC Enterprise M9000 server (64 CPUs): 386,478 QphH@3000GB, $19.25/QphH@3000GB, available March 22. Oracle used Storage Redundancy Level 3 (highest) as defined by the TPC-H 2.14.0 specification. Database Load Time - 10,741 sec. (2) Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server (32 CPUs): 198,907.5Q phH@3000GB, $16.58/QphH@3000GB, available 04/05/2011. 32 vs 64 CPUs results show 1.94x scalabilty. (3) IBM POWER 595 Model 9119-FHA, 156,537.3 QphH@3000GB, $20.60/QphH@3000GB, available 11/24/2009. (Best IBM TPC-H 3000GB performance (QphH) and price/performance ($/QphH) result). Database Load Time – 36,145 sec. 36,145/10,741 = 3.365

Configuring Oracle DB for M-series Memory considerations
Large memory densities possible with a single system image
“ In-Memory” parallel query with 11gR2 becomes interesting
15x average speedup System Memory M9000-64 4TB M9000-32 2TB M8000 1TB M5000 512GB

Configuring Oracle DB for SPARC Sockets / Cores / Threads
SPARC64 VII+ processor (4 cores/8 threads per processor)
SPARC T3 processor (16 cores/128 threads per processor)
Huge number of threads in a single system image
Support high-level of parallelism and concurrency
“ cpu_count = #threads!!”
system sockets cores threads M9000-64 64 256 512 M9000-32 32 128 256 M8000 16 64 128 M5000 8 32 64 M4000 4 16 32 M3000 1 4 8 system sockets cores threads T3-4 4 64 512 T3-2 2 32 256 T3-1 1 16 128 T3-1B 1 16 128 T5120/T2 1 8 64

Configuring Oracle DB for M-series DSS considerations
Use large pages for the PGA
8K is default... 4M is recommended _realfree_heap_pagesize_hint=4194304
Increase message size for parallel query
Default is too low “1500” parallel_execution_message_size = 16384
Parallel query
Query slaves = 2x number of threads
10gR2 : Parallelism set on per table basis
11gR2 : Auto parallelism will select based on resources... queueing can help as well.

Oracle Database on SPARC Servers Best Practices – File System
Storing data on SPARC Servers
Which to use?
ASM vs ZFS vs UFS Direct I/O vs VxFS,...
Best Practice: Use ASM
ASM: Oracle Automated Storage Management
ZFS: Zettabyte File System
Solaris only
UFS: Unix File System
VxFx: Veritas File System

Summary

Why Virtualize?
Enable consolidation
Improve system utilization
Increase business flexibility
Improve security in consolidated deployments
Improve availability in consolidaiton deployments

Hard Partitions SPARC Hypervisors Solaris Containers SPARC Virtualization Enabling Consolidation Single OS Multiple OSes All Sun Systems Solaris Containers (Zones + SRM) Solaris Trusted Extensions Solaris 8 and 9 Containers T-Series Oracle VM SPARC (Logical Domains) Granular Dynamic Low-overhead M-Series Dynamic Domains Complete Isolation: Resources Security Faults Service Included at No Cost! Included at No Cost! Included at No Cost!

Impact of Virtualization on Performance
Possible overhead from virtualization software
Extra OS layer
Hypervisor
Emulation
More OS instances
Virtual I/O instead of direct attach I/O
Virtual networks
Virtualization management software

SPARC Virtualization Overhead Virtualization Can Affect Performance
Dynamic Domains
Hardware partitions with 0% overhead
Managed from separate XSCF service processor
No sharing between domains
Solaris Containers
Light weight software partitions with 0-5% cpu overhead
Oracle VM Server SPARC (LDOMs)
Hypervisor based with 0-5% overhead
Competitive Virtualization Solutions
0-40% cpu overhead

Virtualization Best Practices
Choose partitioning scheme carefully
RAS, management, security, isolation, granularity
Virtualization may not be necessary
Many apps run well together
Solaris scheduling may be sufficient
Customers run dozens of Oracle instances on single server
Use Direct I/O for Oracle VM SPARC
Assign physical PCIe card to VM (new in OVM 2.0)
Configure at least 4 vCPU’s or I/O domain
Configure at least 4 vDisks in OVM guest domain
Stripe vDisks if possible

Domain Resizing and Oracle Database Taking Advantage of Changing Resources
Resize partitions to meet workload changes
Add CPUs/mem to domain
DB “knows” about resize
Reconfiguration coordination manager
DB can use new resources
No Oracle DB reboot
Daytime Configuration Night time Configuration M9000 M9000 Online workload 15 Processors Batch workload 5 Processors Domain A Domain B Online workload 7 Processors Batch workload 13 Processors Domain A Domain B

Removing a “Top 5 Timed Event” with Flash
‘ db file sequential read’ gone as ‘Top 5 Timed Event’
Reduced transaction times
Increased transaction rate
Nearly 5x improvement
2X better power than DRAM
3X better than HDD
