Processor Affinity
Posted in 1997
Our Sun 4000 server supports processor affinity. Because Sun supports
this option, I have configured our On-Line instance to recognize this
option. Our present user count is low, roughly 50 concurrent users.
Beginning next week, we will be jumping to over 300 concurrent users.
In your environments, have you seen and +'s or -'s related to using
processor affinity?
Below are setting taken from my onconfig:
#
# Our Sun server has four processors
#
MULTIPROCESSOR 1 # 0 for single-processor, 1 formulti-processor
NUMCPUVPS 3 # Number of user (cpu) vps
SINGLE_CPU_VP 0 # If non-zero, limit number of cpu vpsto one
NOAGE 0 # Process aging
AFF_SPROC 1 # Affinity start processor
AFF_NPROCS 3 # Affinity number of processors
