dual core processor low performance
I migrate the rp8400 to rp8420 and install dual core processor. total 3 dualcore 6 cpus
But the databases performance is very low and exist performance problem.
Version Sybase 12.51
HPUX 11.11
Exists service notes the dualcore with hpux 11.11 or sybase with dual core.
Regards
Rene

Re: dual core processor low performance
How many processors where there? How fast?
Are the new cores faster or slower or equal?
Did you scale the rest of the system with the increased capacity? More memory, More IO channels? More disks ?
If the application/sybase is single stream, then more CPUs will not help.
Was the prior system heavily cpu loaded?
Did you tell the application and/or Sybase that it is OK to use more CPUs?
Hope these questions get you thinking towards the root causes of the system performance. At the very least these question should suggest some datapoints to include in a more detailed problem statement.

Re: dual core processor low performance
I don't have any experience on Sybase. See if you can identify any bottle necks at the database level.
At the OS level, you can use glance or measureware to plot performance graphs of your system and identify any problems
hope this helps too!
kind regards

Re: dual core processor low performance
New processor: 6 x 1.1 dual core
New Configuration: 6 cpu, 2 celda, 1 partition

Re: dual core processor low performance
>> New processor: 6 x 1.1 dual core
Hmm, now I can confused.
Did you expect a perofmance improvement?
There seems to be very few performance numbers avaiable on those CPUs.
If we just take the Processor Speed (I know, I know...) times count, then the old system system would rate 7000, the new 6600. Now this is only an indication, but it suggest to me that you have less raw power.
And you have few streams to do work.
fwiw,
Hein.

Re: dual core processor low performance
The reason its no faster?
Firstly, with more cpus, data flows around the machine better with better distribution of work and less fighting over the cpu cache, with the parallelised processing that we have.
Secondly, if your system is i/o bound (and databases are i/o bound pretty much by definition) then you could run your DB on a supercomputer CPU and it won't make any difference to overall performance. Your system is stuck waiting for i/o.
I tried to explain this to my management and project board before our change, but they wouldn't have any of it. They thought the faster cpus would make the whole system faster. But they were wrong and I was right.

Re: dual core processor low performance
A lot of people are surprised when faster performance is not obtained merely my having fast processers.
Note: i/o is more important than anything else with database apps. How the storage is configured, raid level is important. A heavy write db on raid 5 storage is a recipe for delays.
First, find the problem:
