Oracle BI 10.1.3.x 10,000 User Benchmark on SunFire T2000

Oracle published a white paper showing the scalability of Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.x (earlier known as Siebel Analytics) on Sun Microsystem's CMT server, T2000. Here is the URL for the white paper:

Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition 10,000 User Benchmark on Sun T2000

It is kind of Oracle's endorsement to use UltraSPARC-T1 (and apparently UltraSPARC-T2) based CMT servers like T2000, T5220 to run Oracle Business Intelligence Suite.

If you look carefully, the white paper also shows some data related to Siebel Analytics 7.8.4 on SunFire T2000 server.

OOB Large Page Selection Changes in Solaris 10 8/07

If you notice slight performance degradation of the application(s) on Solaris 10 8/07 compared to Solaris 10 1/06 & Solaris 10 11/06, it could be due to the conservative large page selection by the operating system. In S10 8/07, the maximum page size for heap/stack/mmap has been reduced to 64K (default is up to 256M depending on the underlying hardware -- eg., 256M on Niagara (US-T1)/US-IV+/SPARC64-VI systems, 32M on US-IV systems and 4M on US-III+ systems) on all systems lacking page coloring. 4M is the default maximum page size on US-T2 (Niagara2) systems. You can check this with the help of pmap -sx <pid>. I do not know exactly the motivation for this change, but I'm suspecting that bugs like default_physio/as_pagelock scales poorely with threads doing IO have something to do with this change.


Large Page Settings

If the application's heap grows beyond 4M, consider using MPSS (Multiple Page Size Support) facility to request large pages selectively for the process heap and stack. Alternatively you can set /etc/system tunable parameters max_uheap_lpsize and mmu_ism_pagesize for the system wide large page usage.

If the large pages have to be disabled for some reason, you can do so with the following /etc/system tunable parameters:

Solaris 10 1/06 & Solaris 10 11/06:
set exec_lpg_disable=1
set use_brk_lpg=0
set use_stk_lpg=0
set use_zmap_lpg=0

Solaris 10 8/07:
set max_uheap_lpsize=0x2000
set max_ustack_lpsize=0x2000
set max_privmap_lpsize=0x2000
set size_t max_shm_lpsize=0x2000
set use_brk_lpg=0
set use_stk_lpg=0
