The Forefront of the Development for NVDIMM on Linux KernelYasunori Goto
This is talk for Open Source Summit Japan 2020
--------------------------
NVDIMM (Non Volatile DIMM) is the most interesting device, because it has not only characteristic of memory but also storage. To support NVDIMM, Linux kernel provides three access methods for users. - Storage (Sector) mode - Filesystem DAX(=Direct Access) mode - Device DAX mode. In the above three methods, Filesystem DAX is the most expected access method, because applications can write data to the NVDIMM area directory, and it is easier to use than Device DAX mode. So, some software already uses it with official support. However, Filesystem-DAX is still "experimental status" in the upstream community due to some difficult issues . In this session, Yasunori Goto will talk to the forefront of the development of NVDIMM, and Ruan Shiyang will talk about his challenge with the latest status from CLK2019.

This document discusses Informix's new partition defragmenter feature. It begins with background on partitions and extents, and explains how fragmented partitions can degrade performance. The defragmenter works by using new SQL functions to consolidate partition extents, logging the process. It can run online and is recoverable. Considerations include avoiding locks and logging overhead. The feature is available via SQL APIs and in OAT for automated optimization. An example demonstrates defragmenting three fragmented tables.
The document summarizes an IBM presentation on benchmarks performed at the IBM PSSC Customer Center in Montpellier, France. It discusses an Informix benchmark on POWER7 systems published in 2012 that showed scalability up to 330% growth. It also describes IBM System x servers like the Flex System x240 and blade servers like the HS23 that are suited for enterprise workloads.
The document discusses the on-disk structures of an Informix database instance. It describes how data is stored across partitions, pages, chunks, and dbspaces. It provides examples of using oncheck commands to view the root chunk, pages, and partitions that make up an Informix instance on disk. The key concepts covered include how partitions, pages, and extents are used to store and organize table and index data across a database server's storage devices.

This document discusses IBM's Informix database and provides updates on recent developments. It notes that IBM continues investing in Informix, which runs on IBM's PureSystems platform and features new in-memory and columnar technologies. The document outlines IBM's business imperatives for Informix, including delighting existing customers, differentiating the product, creating a proactive sales culture, and building new revenue streams. It highlights some major Informix customers and a benchmark test showing Informix TimeSeries' ability to efficiently manage smart meter data for millions of meters.
Update Statistics provides concise summaries of document changes in 3 sentences:
The document discusses changes to statistics collection and use in Informix versions 11.10, 11.50, and 11.70, including "Smart Statistics" which only updates statistics if data changes exceed a threshold. It also describes the "Auto Update Statistics" scheduler tasks which automatically determine and run appropriate UPDATE STATISTICS commands based on guidelines. The document provides examples showing how statistics are updated and not updated depending on whether the UPDATE STATISTICS command is run or data change thresholds are exceeded.
This document discusses managing large amounts of data from smart utility meters. It notes that smart meters can generate huge volumes of data as readings become more frequent. It introduces IBM's Informix TimeSeries database as a solution, highlighting its performance, space savings, and support for time series data. Key benefits include handling high data insertion rates, reducing storage needs by 50% compared to a standard relational layout, and providing functions optimized for time series analysis.
The document discusses trends in data warehousing and analytics, including the rise of data warehouse appliances, column-oriented databases, and in-memory databases. It then introduces Informix Warehouse Accelerator, which combines row and columnar storage, compression, and in-memory technologies to provide extreme performance for data warehousing workloads. Key technologies of the accelerator include 3:1 data compression, frequency partitioning for efficient parallel scanning, and predicate evaluation directly on compressed data.
The document provides an overview of new features in IBM Informix TimeSeries versions xC3 and xC4. Some key new features in xC3 include support for additional platforms, a demo that populates smart meter data, removal of an 18-character limit on names, pre-defined calendars, container statistics, and improved delete performance. New features in xC4 are also presented but not described in detail.
Informix 11.7 delivers smarter data management through three key capabilities:
1) Informix Flexible Grid provides high availability, scalability and workload management.
2) The Informix Warehouse Accelerator delivers unprecedented query response times.
3) Informix Genero enables faster development of mobile and cloud applications.
- Storage provisioning allows automatic expansion of database spaces to prevent "out of space" errors. It can extend existing chunks or create new chunks from a storage pool as needed.
- The storage pool is a list of raw devices, files, or directories that IDS can allocate space from. Spaces and chunks can be created from or dropped to the storage pool.
- The feature has manual and automatic modes and can be accessed via SQL commands or the OAT graphical interface. It provides high availability and reduces downtime from space-related errors.

24. DU: Overview
Standalone tool to rapidly deploy packaged Informix
instances in an embedded environmen
Introduced in 11.50.xC6
Configuration file: $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ifxdeploy.conf
Command line tool with customization options
during deployment
ifxdeploy
[-config <configfile>] [-clone] [-extractcmd <command>]
[-verbose] [-l <logfile>] [-p <password>] [-silent] [-sqliport <port>]
[-drdaport <port>] [-servernum <num>] [-rootpath <rootdbs>]
[-file <tgz file>] [-relocate <path>] [-force] [-keepdis]
[-start [<secs>] [-autorecommend] [-y]
User Group Informix France
25. DU: Typical usage
1. Install and configure a template Informix instance
2. Use Deployment Assistant (DA) to Package the
contents of $INFORMIXDIR/* and the relevant
directory containing the dbspaces, tempdbspaces,
etc.
3. Update $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ifxdeploy.conf
4. Use $INFORMIXDIR/bin/ifxdeploy to rapidly deploy
the template Informix instances on the target
User Group Informix France
26. DU: Configuration File
All dbspaces, tempdbspaces should reside in one directory
No support for raw devices
$ONCONFIG.autorec file is an alternate configuration file which
may require server initialization for certain parameters to come
into effect
The “-autorecommend” option leverages new technology in 11.70
which takes into account hardware performance for calculating
parameter values (for example: disk read/write speeds)
User Group Informix France
27. DU: Limitations/Considerations
With DU, you can use a config file ifxdeploy.conf as an
alternative to command-line arguments and
environment variables
If the same options are in the config file and on the
command line, the command line takes precedence
If the same options are in the config file and in the
environment, the config file takes precedence
A sample config file ifxdeploy.conf is included on the
Infomix server at $INFORMIXDIR/etc on Linux and
UNIX and at %INFORMIXDIR%etc on Windows.
User Group Informix France
28. DU: ifxdeploy.conf usage example
Deploys an instace from demo_on.tgz
Relocates data spaces to /data/demo_on
New rootpath is set to /data/demo_on/online_root
Starts the instance after deployment
Additional parameters are passed via ifxdeploy.conf
file
Prints verbose messages
./ifxdeploy -verbose -config ifxdeploy.conf -f demo_on.tgz
-rootpath /data/demo_on/online_root -relocate /data/demo_on
-start

33. ifx_silent_deploy
Silent deployment of Informix server instance and its
data spaces is a two-step process:
– Deploy data spaces from the snapshot that was created using
DA.
– Deploy the Informix server instance, optionally relocate the
data spaces, and start the instance by using DU.
ifx_silent_deploy.sh and ifx_silent_deploy.cmd are
example scripts that show you how to perform these
tasks silently.
User Group Informix France
34. ifx_silent_deploy.sh usage
ifx_silent_deploy.sh <relocate_option> <srvpkg> <dbspkg>
<currloc> [<newloc>]
relocate_option - relocate to relocate data spaces; norelocate not to relocate data
spaces
srvpkg - Name of the server package
dbspkg - Name of the data spaces package
currloc - Current location of data spaces
newloc - New deployment location of the data spaces when relocating.
This argument is not required if you are not relocating data spaces.
ifx_silent_deploy.sh relocate demo_on.tgz demo_on_db.tgz
