Do You See What I See? What do you see? Ask those sitting near you...

Do You See What I See? Let s see if you see what I see in Solaris From my point of view I See: Solaris to be The Platform of Choice for Oracle Database Systems We will take a look at Solaris and my observations in the past few years.

Customers are Choosing Oracle Solaris Large European Telco Moved to Solaris 2X Performance for the same number of licenses 10X more customer transactions per day Replaced: HP x86 Red Hat Linux VMware We moved to SPARC systems for 3 main reasons: Improved performance, reliability and scalability, and great integration features of Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle Database.

Customers are Choosing Oracle Solaris European Utilities Company 13:1 Server Consolidation Near zero cost/risk application migration 25% storage growth year over year OOW14 Session recommendation: An Oracle SuperCluster Engineered System for Oracle Utilities Network Management System by Simon Holt, ESB Networks Ireland Wednesday, 10:15-11:00am [CON5388] Replaced: IBM P-Series Legacy SPARC Data Guard

Customers are Choosing Oracle Solaris Large European Bank Moved to Solaris 10:1 Database Consolidation Replaced: HP Itanium HP PA-Risk IBM P-Series IBM Mainframe PA-RISC Itanium SRDF VxFS & VCS Mainframe P-Series OOW14 Session Recommendation: DBA s New Best Friend for Mistake-Free Administration: Oracle Real Application Testing, Kevin Callanan, Allied Irish Bank Wednesday, 11:30-12:15pm [CON5388] We modernized and standardized the hardware and operating system platform to Oracle SPARC Solaris, a platform with proven track record and strong roadmap, in which we can leverage database specific OS and hardware enhancements. We chose to run Oracle software on Oracle hardware, as they are tested together and investigated together, gives us a single point for Support (HW, OS, DB, CRS ) and brings simplification and standardization which fits the model in the bank.

Here is how: Frequency bump enabled by deeper pipeline Critical Threads (FX60 priority) Out of Order pipeline Store Pipeline Sophisticated branch predictor 128k L2 cache per core Hardware data prefetcher

The Ultimate Software Optimizations: Hardware Software in Silicon Moving Oracle Database & Data Functions into Hardware Database Query Acceleration Application Data Integrity Software in Silicon Data Decompression Low-Latency Clustering

Database Query Accelerator Software in Silicon Special Purpose Silicon to Address Database Challenges Database Query Acceleration CPU Dedicated hardware on silicon Core Core Core Core Frees up cores to do other work Avoids cache overuse Query Engine Last Level Cache I/O I/O I/O Each T7/M7 has eight Database Query Accelerator Engines inside the memory controller (core thread) (accelerated task)

Database Query Accelerator Software in Silicon Database Query Acceleration SQL mostly made up from a few basic operations: Filter Search Sort Join Group Aggregate First generation Database Query Acceleration: Select: Filter to reduce a column Scan: Search Extract: Decompression Translate: Lookup to accelerate big-to-small joins

Database Query Accelerator Software in Silicon Query Functions In-Memory Format Conversions Value and Range Comparisons Set Membership Lookups Optimizations for Oracle Database In-Memory Task Level Accelerator that Operates on In-Memory Columnar Vectors Operates on Decompressed and Compressed Columnar Formats Database Query Acceleration MEMORY or L3$ Column Format Row Format Compressed DB DB Up to 32 Concurrent DB Streams M7 In-Silicon Query Engines MEMORY or L3$ Bit/Byte-packed, Padded, Indexed Vectors Up to 32 Concurrent Result Streams

Database Query Accelerator Software in Silicon Database Query Acceleration Fused (Decompression + Query Functions) = Reduced Task Overhead Reduced Core Processing Cycles Reduced Memory Bandwidth per Query Local SRAM M7 Query Engine (1 of 8) On-Chip Network Data Input Queues Data Input Queues Decompress Decompress Decompress Decompress Unpack/ Alignment Unpack/ Alignment Predicate Eval Predicate Eval Unpack/ Alignment Predicate Eval Unpack/ Alignment Predicate Eval Result Format/Encode Result Format/Encode Result Format/Encode Result Format/Encode Data Output Queues Data Output Queues On-Chip Network

The Ultimate Software Optimizations: Hardware Software in Silicon Moving Oracle Database & Data Functions into Hardware Database Query Acceleration Application Data Integrity Software in Silicon Data Decompression Low-Latency Clustering

Application Data Integrity Software in Silicon Application Data Integrity Debug software memory management issues easily Catch memory reference errors with no impact on performance Protects against silent data corruption Protects against malicious attacks Superior customer support when running Oracle on Oracle

Application Data Integrity Software in Silicon Application Data Integrity Superior software and customer support - Higher quality, more reliable, more secure - Faster time to resolution when an issue does occur. - Fewer patches New revolutionary memory architecture in SPARC chip is a result of in depth collaboration between Database developers and SPARC microprocessor team

Dynamically resize your Database SGA Optimized Shared Memory (OSM) Works with Oracle Database Automatic Memory Management (AMM) Dynamic, NUMA- aware granule based shared memory Replaces DISM (Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory ) Bring Oracle Database instances up multiple times faster Most useful in consolidated database systems Oracle DB SGA Dynamically resize your Database SGA online without a reboot Oracle Database 12c uses OSM instead of DISM when memory_target is set

Time in Seconds Faster Oracle Database Startup Optimizations for startup Scalable kernel memory allocator for SGA which directly improves no-mount time during startup Parallelized metadata initialization in kernel for ISM segments which improves 'open' phase of startup Faster spawning of background processes using posix_spawn interface (11g and 12c) Deferred SGA allocation (12c only) Deferred creation of selected background processes like PQ slaves until required (12c) 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 2800 Solaris 11.1 + 11g 650 21x 130 Solaris 11.1.10 + Solaris 11.1.10 + 11g 12c 8x for 3TB SGA to 21x for 30TB SGA

New Virtual Memory System in Solaris 11 Optimized for next generation hardware: - Critical Thread Scheduling Optimization - Very large memory pages - CPU and IO locality management Page table management becomes so easy Better utilization of both memory and CPU Low overhead scaling to 10s of TBs, 1000s of threads Auto memory page tuning with built-in memory predictor Very large memory pages Improve overall database performance by reducing multi-step memory operations Takes advantage of new hardware immediately

New Virtual Memory System in Solaris 11 The built-in Memory Predictor Monitors large memory page use and adjusts the size of the memory pages to better match application needs. Sampler Analyzer Action Engine Before After Page Requests over 30 seconds Analyzer evaluates information and determines action to take Action Engine creates internal threads to do the work

Ultimate Oracle Database I/O Observability Oracle Solaris DTrace Integration New with Oracle Database 12c Provides end-to-end view for I/O operations taking too long Traces who issued the I/O request, the device it went to and the exact time spend in each layer: Database, OS, and the storage device Tracing info is loaded in V$ views for queries Optimize your Database I/O performance v$kernel_io_outlier TIMESTAMP IO_SIZE IO_OFFSET DEVICE_NAME VARCHAR2(513) PROCESS_NAME VARCHAR2(64) TOTAL_LATENCY SETUP_LATENCY Quickly resolve I/O issues

A New V$ View in Database 12c Although this view exists on all platforms in Oracle Database 12c, it is only populated on the Solaris platform. V$KERNEL_IO_OUTLIER Contains entries corresponding to I/Os that have taken a long time to complete. (more than 500 ms) Use this view to see the individual kernel components of I/Os for which there are any occasional delays in serving disk I/O requests by the storage subsystem.
