64-bit vs. 32-bit performance on SPARC hardware with the 1.6 JVM

I'm doing performance tuning for our Tomcat ckuster running on SPARC hardware. The 32-bit JVM gives us sufficient memory for now, but we are going to start using Terracotta for server striping so the extra memory the 64-bit JVM offers could be needed soon.
In addition to a bigger memory footprint, moving to the 64-bit JVM on SPARC has had a performance penalty. This FAQ shows a 10% - 20% performance hit when moving to the 64-bit JVM on SPARC on the 1.4 JVM:
http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/HotSpotFAQ.html#64bit_performance
I'm not interested in taking a 10% - 20% performance hit if I can avoid it. There's been discussion of using a 32-bit / 64-bit hybrid approach to avoid this problem so maybe the 1.6 JVM doesn't have the performance hit that the 1.4 JVM had:
http://blog.juma.me.uk/2008/10/14/32-bit-or-64-bit-jvm-how-about-a-hybrid/
Does anyone have current performance metrics for moving from the 32-bit JVM to the 64-bit JVM using the 1.6 JVM on SPARC?
Thanks.

Yes the 6380 FPU is shared between two cores.  I just ran a diagnostic I made up that generates an array of 1 million random numbers, takes the average of those, and then excutes that repeatedly in a parallel loop.  The 6380 showed a 20% to 30% improvement in speed between LV64 & LV32 bit depending on how many cores I told it to use.  So that seems to make more sense.  The other code that I was running that ran 4 times slower has a complicated clusters within a cluster structure including a large look up table array that is being passed around amoung several vi's.  If it is moving that large amount of data around in memory, instead of just the pointer, that might explain it.  But why then would the AMD run slower with 64 bit (by a factor of 4) when compared with the Core i7 which ran twice as fast, which kind of makes sense to me if it is moving that data around with twice the bandwidth?

  • Manage SPARC LDOMs with the OVM x86 GUI?

    Today I watched this recent Oracle video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuGGZ1uLeN8
    Note the use of "Oracle VM Manager" to migrate SPARC guest domains between a T3 and T4 host (see 0:18 to 0:36).
    I'm fairly confident this is the Linux-based tool that comes with the OVM for x86 product. I don't think it's OC for OEM.
    Does anyone know whether you can use Oracle VM Manager with SPARC? I would be interested to hear more about it.
    I have never seen this before, perhaps it is an upcoming feature? Thanks in advance for any info... -cheers, CSB

    Craig, I prefer the easier $2k questions ;-)
    Supporting split-bus (multiple IO domain) configurations is vital. We agree that all of our serious datacenter customers use that as a best practice. As you've noted, OpsCenter has thus far not supported those configurations well, but that is being addressed as a top priority. One of the challenges we have with the Oracle VM Manager is its origin as a management entity for Xen deployments on x86, where there is a notion of a single "dom0". We are having to teach OVM Manager about LDoms control infrastructure (control domain, multiple IO domains etc.) - it is one of a dozen really important things that we are working madly on.
    Brownfield is also in that dozen really important things - OVM manager has a leg up as it already has some brownfield support now; we expect even in the technology preview for SPARC that Oracle VM manager can discover LDoms already on your SPARC systems; the degree to which you can then actively manage those domains through the manager will be explained at time of release. There is a requirement to add some management agent bits to your existing server, and that your control domain is running S11. Best thing customers can do now is start moving their control domains and IO service domains to S11 in preparation not just of the Oracle VM Manager (and in general better management capabilities), but also for new advanced feature support. You can keep your application domains running S10.

  • Performance and Contention problem with the database ?

    Hello!
    I am having one database which is used by around 95 thousand
    users.Database contain about 4 lakh records. The database is
    going smooth and perfect.
    The problem(perfomance is slow and there is contension too) came
    when i made 4 web applications which contain atleast 1000 hits
    (1000 records are inserted in the database ) per day.
    Now the db is not going so smooth(contention and performance
    problem).
    I think this is happening becuase of those 4 web applications.
    So should i make new database for that 4 applications or i need
    to get the new system for it or there is another way through i
    can tune my running database.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Seemab

    Hi,
    If i well understand, u have one database and u insert 4000 rows
    per day and u have performance problem ?
    I think u have a big problem cause it's not really a big
    intensity on a base. So u should have big problems on ur
    database design such as undersized memory area, bad disk
    repartition, bad types of indexes or something like that.
    To decrease the contention, u should separate ur data and index
    datafiles over differents disks and specialize tablespace by the
    granularity of the table.
    But u r not enough precise to expect a precise answer; could u
    be more precise ? as the server u have, data volumes, a select *
    from v$system_event, etc...
    Good Luck,

  • Should I download Firefox 5 using Windows 7 64 bit or wait until Firefox supports the 64 bit version?

    why are u asking me to upgrade to Firefox 5 that does not support Windows 7 64 bit?

    Download or continue with the 32 bit version of Firefox to run on your 64 bit Windows 7 system.
    The 64 bit Firefox is just for testing Firefox, you would not be able to use the plug-ins you normally use as they are not available.

  • 2010 13" MBP performance with the 27" Cinema Display

    Hi. I have a 2010 13" Macbook Pro bought about a year and a half ago (my first Mac and despite the problems described below, I'm a very happy camper), with RAM upgraded to 8 GB but otherwise it's pretty much a standard issue machine, certainly still a good computer. Last summer I bought the 27" Cinema Display to go with it and I just love it. From time to time, though, I'm a bit concerned about the performance of my computer with the display. I usually use a lot of apps at a time (hence the maxed out memory) and with the display, more often than not, the computer runs a bit on the slow side, the animations are not the smoothest, the "beach ball" is oft-present, or, very prominently, there's no way flash video (such as on YouTube) plays smoothly in full screen, making it unwatchable (I often "cheat" by using the universal access zoom to magnify the video, which does the job pretty well). The fan inside the laptop usually spins audibly at the maximum RPM and the CPU temperature is usually around 70°C (rarely less, but rarely much more). None of these problems happen when I'm using it without the display, on the road. I have already given up on keeping the see-thru Zagg plastic case when at home and not traveling, to keep the computer cooler in the clamshell mode and I'd be willing to buy an external cooling system (the Moshi Zefyr 2 cooler looks really worthy) but do you think the performance degradation could be heat-related at all? I know my MBP is really the entry-level model and still has the ancient C2D CPU, only 256 MB of video memory and I shouldn't expect miracles. But I just wanted to make sure I'm doing everything right and my computer is really "supposed" to perform worse with such a large display. Thank you very much for any kind of help or advice.

    Thanks a lot for your reply. Isn't it weird, though, that Apple would make the display compatible with all of their notebooks without any warning about the possible performance penalty with some of the lower end models? Why aren't they offering smaller external displays? And the MBP 7,1 is no slouch too, when this particular Cinema Display originally shipped, it was the most powerful Apple laptop after the 15" and 17" MBPs.
    Oh well, it still works OK though, and I'm going to stick with this setup for at least another year or so, certianly till after the rumored MBP redesign takes place and I hope the graphics on the future machines will be powerful enough to drive large displays smoothly. It's a good thing the Cinema Display is future-proof and forward compatible with the Tunderbolt port. All in all, it's a beautiful display and will remain so for a long time.
    Do you think an external cooler (such as the mensioned Zefyr 2) would help in the meantime?

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    It's cool man. I just don't understand why Adobe wasn't more forthcoming, they we're quoted in the article as saying they recommend 64 OS with 8 gig memory for avchd yet you see that nowhere on the Adobe site.
    Most people who use AVCHD cameras are consumer/prosumer types and telling them they need that they need such beefy computers to edit the format native might stop more than a few from buying premiere, that's all I was getting at. Also there's a great hatred for Vista out there (not me) and telling these non-pro's they need not just Vista but Vista 64 would turn more than a few people away. (The Red Camera whitepaper specifically says Vista 64, I think the generic 64bit comment was just meant to include Mac's OS, xp64 doesn't work nearly as well as Vista 64 in my experience)
    It was the statement "This is why we recommend 64-bit systems for CS4" that got me. They didn't say 'helpful' they said 'recommended'. And judging by everyone's problems editing AVCHD on 32 OS I might even upgrade that to 'necessary'.
    Then there's this:
    "What types of project will benefit from running in 64-bit Windows, and what types of performance improvements can we expect?
    Consider the following workflow:
    * After Effects in use for compositing
    * After Effects compositions used in the Premiere Pro timeline via Dynamic Link
    * Premiere Pro editing HD content
    * AME encoding a Premiere Pro sequence in the background
    * Encore burning a Blu-ray Disc using content imported via Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro.
    This will create approximately 10 processes, each of which can use a separate 4GB chunk of memory. This means its possible to achieve much higher stability with complex projects and workflows.
    In addition, performance improves: Customers spend less time switching between applications and waiting for memory to page back in from disk. And more memory is available for frame caching so that when content is played, it will be available in the cache longer before it gets swapped out for more recently played frames. This translates into better editing interactivity, particularly for detail work on high resolution content.
    Obviously this is a fairly intense workflow, but we frequently talk to customers that want to do similar things. And even with the more straightforward case of encoding a Premiere Pro timeline were able to use a lot of memory compared to running on a 32-bit system. That really helps when we get into large frame sizes and complex projects."
    That one paragraph is more helpful than anything on the Adobe site. Just wondering why they it took a call from a major magazine to clear this up. According to the tests in the article CS4's new dynamic link uses a good more RAM than in CS3. Little things like that are nice to know.
    But, like I said it's all cool. You have to admit knowing all that would us out here on the user forum where we try to help other uses for to help them out. Does that make sense?
    Happy holidays
    Anyway didn't mean dust up anything with you Curt just speaking my mind. I'm really glad Adobe finally explained how everything works. Makes much more sense.
    Thanks again for the links Eric. Might be the best present I got this Christmas.

  • IMac 64-bit Performance Difference?

    Is there a significant (or any) performance difference when running the iMac in 64-bit mode rather than the 32-bit mode? Any reason why I woudl not want to run it with the 64-bit kernel? I have an early 2009 20" iMac with 4 Gb and Intel 2.66 processor running Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    Running a computer in 64 bit mode will have no bearing on performance if the application software being run is 32 bit as are most current apps. As time passes more and more applications will be ported to 64 bit mode for a timeline you would need to contact each manufacturer and ask.
    If you want to start your Mac in 64 bit mode on startup hold down the 6 and 4 keys. Then to see what applications are running in 64 bit start Activity Monitor and in the Kind column it will state what applications are 64 bit.

    have a question to ask ... I bought, at the time, the update of Adobe Audition CS6, being already in possession of the CS5.5 version. Since I had to redo the operating system (windows 7 professional 64-bit), reistallando program CS6, with the corresponding serial number in my possession, I noticed a malfunction that is:
    importing a musical motif and starting the program, clicking on play, I do not play any pattern or song despite being in operation.
    I reinstalled the program, but without any result. What do I do? Thanks.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • 64 bit software on x86 hardware

    I have a Windows XP machine that is 32 bit (x86) hardware.  The machine was sent to a company that was supposed to upgrade to Windows 7.  This is an x86 system.
    The company upgraded using Windows 7 64-bit software.  The system now seems to have some issues with program functionality (i.e. Word randomly closing when I try to click on a open document).  And is very, very slow.
    The company said that if the computer allowed them to load 64-bit software, than the computer was 64-bit compatible and it was the correct software to load.
    Can anyone provide me with some insight/opinion into this?
    Regards,
    Diane
    DA

    If the processor didn't support the x86_64 architecture (quite possible for older Windows PCs), Windows 7 64-bit would fail to install or run. So that it's installed means you do have a processor supporting 64-bit software.
    However, do you know how much RAM your PC has? Microsoft recommend at least 2 GB for the 64 bit edition of Windows 7, vs 1 GB for the 32-bit edition. Windows will allow installations with less and the result is usually poor performance. So if your PC has
    less than 2GB of RAM, complain that the company you dealt with should not have installed the 64-bit edition of Windows 7. (If it has more than 3GB, on the other hand, 64-bit is definitely the right option.)
    Other things you can try:
    Switch to the Windows 7 Basic or even the Windows Classic theme. (Right-click the Desktop and click Personalize.) This reduces RAM usage and can help performance on lower-spec systems.
    Open the Device Manager (right-click Computer and choose Manage) and check there aren't any warnings in the devices. In particular if you don't have proper graphics drivers installed you can get a sluggish experience.

  • 32-bit Intel Core Duo ok with upcoming 64-bit Leopard?

    How well suited is the 32-bit Intel Core Duo in my MacBook Pro to run the future 64-bit Leopard OS? What would be the compromises?
    Should I sell my Core Duo now while I can (maybe...) and upgrade to the 64-bit Core2 Duo. Would a 32-bit chip such as the Core Duo struggle to operate efficiently - or at least as fast as it does under 32-bit Tiger - when run within the 64-bit Leopard OS?
    Cheers
    Ant

    You might find this tidibit (from AnandTech) )interesting, Kappy:
    "Why a 64-bit mode can actually be slower than a 32-bit counterpart
    If all else is equal, a 64-bit MPU will be slower than its 32-bit equivalent. A study conducted by DEC found that, on average, compiling for 64bit programs decreases performance by 5%. This is because 64-bit address pointers occupy more space, resulting in higher data cache miss rates. In fact, 64-bit ISAs still support 64-bit addressing and 32-bit data operands, specifically to keep code size down and the miss rate penalty to a minimum; thus 32-bit integer data is still going to be used when the larger range of 64-bit integers are not needed.
    What good is 64-bit computing?
    There is one good use for 64-bit integer arithmetic: 64-bit flat memory addressing. Offering memory addressing beyond 4GB, 64-bit addressing needs 64-bit general purpose registers and 64-bit integer arithmetic for memory pointer calculations. This obviously has no effect on 32-bit vs. 64-bit performance, since 64-bit memory addressing on a 32-bit processor is a moot point."
    So it's not clear that going 64-bit, in and of itself, would yield any improvement in performance; it may well be worse in some cases (and your analogy might well be true, depending on the cache algorhythms and efficiency).
    Certainly if one processor has a wider memory bus than another, then the first processor should, all else being equal, outperform the second processor. I can't find specs on the memory fetch for the Core Duo and the Core 2 Duo, so I can't say whether or not they differ. The PowerPC G5 processor actually has a 128-bit wide memory fetch (64-bit in and 64-bit out) though it's classified as a "64-bit processor" (based on it's memory address space, I would presume).
    So, as you allude, one has to be careful making performance estimates just based on a desciption of a processor being "32 bit" or "64 bit". We'll have to wait to see reasonable benchmarks between the Core Duo and the Core 2 Duo running a 64-bit OS before we'll really know what advantage, if any, there is.
    Cheers.

  • 64-bit LabVIEW - still major problems with large data sets

    Hi Folks -
    I have LabVIEW 2009 64-bit version running on a Win7 64-bit OS with Intel Xeon dual quad core processor, 16 gbyte RAM.  With the release of this 64-bit version of LabVIEW, I expected to easily be able to handle x-ray computed tomography data sets in the 2 and 3-gbyte range in RAM since we now have access to all of the available RAM.  But I am having major problems - sluggish (and stoppage) operation of the program, inability to perform certain operations, etc.
    Here is how I store the 3-D data that consists of a series of images. I store each of my 2d images in a cluster, and then have the entire image series as an array of these clusters.  I then store this entire array of clusters in a queue which I regularly access using 'Preview Queue' and then operate on the image set, subsets of the images, or single images.
    Then enqueue:
    I remember talking to LabVIEW R&D years ago that this was a good way to do things because it allowed non-contiguous access to memory (versus contigous access that would be required if I stored my image series as 3-D array without the clusters) (R&D - this is what I remember, please correct if wrong).
    Because I am experiencing tremendous slowness in the program after these large data sets are loaded, and I think disk access as well to obtain memory beyond 16 gbytes, I am wondering if I need to use a different storage strategy that will allow seamless program operation while still using RAM storage (do not want to have to recall images from disk).
    I have other CT imaging programs that are running very well with these large data sets.
    This is a critical issue for me as I move forward with LabVIEW in this application.   I would like to work with LabVIEW R&D to solve this issue.  I am wondering if I should be thinking about establishing say, 10 queues, instead of 1, to address this.  It would mean a major program rewrite.
    Sincerely,
    Don

    First, I want to add that this strategy works reasonably well for data sets in the 600 - 700 mbyte range with the 64-bit LabVIEW. 
    With LabVIEW 32-bit, I00 - 200 mbyte sets were about the limit before I experienced problems.
    So I definitely noticed an improvement.
    I use the queuing strategy to move this large amount of data in RAM.   We could have used other means such a LV2 globals.  But the idea of clustering the 2-d array (image) and then having a series of those clustered arrays in an array (to see the final structure I showed in my diagram) versus using a 3-D array I believe even allowed me to get this far using RAM instead of recalling the images from disk.
    I am sure data copies are being made - yes, the memory is ballooning to 15 gbyte.  I probably need to have someone examine this code while I am explaining things to them live.  This is a very large application, and a significant amount of time would be required to simplify it, and that might not allow us to duplicate the problem.  In some of my applications, I use the in-place structure for indexing
    data out of arrays to minimize data copies.  I expect I might have to
    consider this strategy now here as well.  Just a thought.
    What I can do is send someone (in US) via large file transfer a 1.3 - 2.7 gbyte set of image data - and see how they would best advise on storing and extracting the images using RAM, how best to optimize the RAM usage, and not make data copies.  The operations that I apply on the images are irrelevant.  It is the storage, movement, and extractions that are causing the problems.  I can also show a screen shot(s) of how I extract the images (but I have major problems even before I get to that point),
    Can someone else comment on how data value references may help here, or how they have helped in one of their applications?  Would the use of this eliminate copies?   I currently have to wait for 64-bit version of the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit for LabVIEW 2010 before I can move to LabVIEW 2010.

  • New Computer 64 Bit W7 Home Premium - problem with Ext HD E/: says in use

    Brand new computer with Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit and then added this ext HD and downloaded clean new install of programs.[Now this Toshiba was E drive on previous computer which started life as XP Home and ended as Windows Premium 7 32 bit and brought
    across the data. But Easy Transfer Wizard back up was corrupt. Luckily had cut and pasted as a precaution having always suffered bad backups.]
    But problems arising with browsers not working correctly etc vendors say messages incorrect like windows saying re Pale Moon x64 clean install from web working then closing that its settings should be XP when the creator on being asked said was created for
    W7 never XP and check for problems elsewhere. IE11 problematic too as well as Opera, Chrome and Firefox so tracked down to below or do complete re-install of system. OS is authenticated as genuine by M$. Scans MSE, SAS, Malawarebyes clean.
    Ever since I installed the Ext HD a Toshiba 500B USB3.0 & 2.0 it has appeared and then disappeared on Devices & printers when there says 3.0 device checking properties unknown bu recognizes it as Toshiba.
    I used it to bring over data from old computer which it did. Also for backup. Checking first backup - nonsense all data is different displays of IE11 start ups. Nothing else. Now deleted. Windows also said not compatible.And windows is continually
    loading drivers to this device. I think that is what is the cause of its disappearance - shut down and boot sometimes back, sometimes not. Yet scanners find it when when not available.
    OK so now how do I get Windows 7 to eject the drive and then try to put it on and get it recognized and working correctly. Because it could be why also backup corrupt. I have formatted it now and transferred all needed over to C Drive. I am not sure what
    happens with this re drivers - it came without any software say plug and play and drag and drop ready for use with Windows.
    If I can get this working correctly it will save me a complete re-install. As hate to do that and then find same problem with the External Drive. AfAIK no problems with it formatted now and ready to go and no bad areas.
    Has to be this continual bringing down of a driver and fact checking Windows cant find it on list of compatibles. Vendor says it is.

    Thanks I had already run Check disc and contacted Toshiba and it has correct driver. Definitely a problem with the actual system disc.
    I have also completed website asking for my model to be added to compatible sites and just have to hope seeing as no direct contact available, must be only company in the world that gets away with that.
    Managed to work around the E/: problem by adding it to Libraries and then cut and pasted the whole date files and photos ready for new disc.
    Backup simply is corrupted so also the wizard to find new device- wont search or load and greyed out,  so have arranged with manufacturer for a new disc - the one I should have bought at the time instead of using the upgrade.
    With the Device & Printer  device it says I have the keyboard 3000, a compliant mouse and and a HID keyboard device as well as M$ wireless transceiver and of course a 3.0 unknown device which is E Drive. So along with monitor and computer tower
    7.
    The keyboard is wired via a USB and only the mouse is wireless via the transceiver. So what the HID keyboard device is is a mystery too. So problem there in that wizard too. Plus had to uninstall Mouse/Keyboard ?Centre which improved the performance of the
    mouse as 1 setting not 2.
