JNI performance degradation

Hi All, I got a problem when using jni.
The JNI program is used to call a c program for computing the maximum clique of a graph.
When testing this program in its only main function, its speed is okay. For a graph with 2000 nodes and 300,000 edges, it takes 2 seconds.
However, when I incorporated this JNI program into my own program, its performance greatly degraded. Given a graph with the same size in above example, it takes 50 seconds to finish computing.
I do not know what's wrong with the program. Before calling the jni program, I will load many data into the memory. Whether this affects the performance?
thank you for your help!

Do you make a large number of JNI calls during the computation?

Performance degradation with addition of unicasting option

We have been using the multi-casting protocol for setting up the data grid between the application nodes with the vm arguments as
*-Dtangosol.coherence.clusteraddress=${Broadcast Address} -Dtangosol.coherence.clusterport=${Broadcast port}*
As the certain node in the application was expected in a different sub net and multi-casting was not feasible, we opted for well known addressing with following additional VM arguments setup in the server nodes(all in the same subnet)
*-Dtangosol.coherence.machine=${server_name} -Dtangosol.coherence.wka=${server_ip} -Dtangosol.coherence.localport=${server_port}*
and the following in the remote client node that point to one of the server node like this
*-Dtangosol.coherence.wka=${server_ip} -Dtangosol.coherence.wka.port=${server_port}*
But this deteriorated the performance drastically both in pushing data into the cache and getting events via map listener.
From the coherence logging statements it doesn't seems that multi-casting is getting used atleast with in the server nodes(which are in the same subnet).
Is it feasible to have both uni-casting and multi-casting to coexist? How to verify if it is setup already?
Is performance degradation in well-known addressing is a limitation and expected?

Hi Mahesh,
From your description it sounds as if you've configured each node with a wka list just including it self. This would result in N rather then 1 clusters. Your client would then be serviced by the resources of just a single cache server rather then an entire cluster. If this is the case you will see that all nodes are identified as member 1. To setup wka I would suggest using the override file rather then system properties, and place perhaps 10% of your nodes on that list. Then use this exact same file for all nodes. If I've misinyerpreted your configuration please provide additional details.
Thanks,

Performance degradation with -g compiler option

Hello
Our mearurement of simple program compiled with and without -g option shows big performance difference.
Machine:
SunOS xxxxx 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V250
Compiler:
CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-08 2008/10/16
#include "time.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
   for (int i = 0 ; i < 60000; i++)
       int *mass = new int[60000];
       for (int j=0; j < 10000; j++) {
           mass[j] = j;
       delete []mass;
   return 0;
}Compilation and execution with -g:
CC -g -o test_malloc_deb.x test_malloc.c
ptime test_malloc_deb.xreal 10.682
user 10.388
sys 0.023
Without -g:
CC -o test_malloc.x test_malloc.c
ptime test_malloc.xreal 2.446
user 2.378
sys 0.018
As you can see performance degradation of "-g" is about 4 times.
Our product is compiled with -g option and before shipment it is stripped using 'strip' utility.
This will give us possibility to open customer core files using non-stripped exe.
But our tests shows that stripping does not give performance of executable compiled without '-g'.
So we are losing performance by using this compilation method.
Is it expected behavior of compiler?
Is there any way to have -g option "on" and not lose performance?

In your original compile you don't use any optimisation flags, which tells the compiler to do minimal optimisation - you're basically telling the compiler that you are not interested in performance. Adding -g to this requests that you want maximal debug. So the compiler does even less optimisation, in order that the generated code more closely resembles the original source.
If you are interested in debug, then -g with no optimisation flags gives you the most debuggable code.
If you are interested in optimised code with debug, then try -O -g (or some other level of optimisation). The code will still be debuggable - you'll be able to map disassembly to lines of source, but some things may not be accessible.
If you are using C++, then -g will in SS12 switch off front-end inlining, so again you'll get some performance hit. So use -g0 to get inlining and debug.
HTH,
Darryl.

Performance degradation factor 1000 on failover???

          Hi,
          we are gaining first experience with WLS 5.1 EBF 8 clustering on
          NT4 SP 6 workstation.
          We have two servers in the cluster, both on same machine but with
          different IP adresses (as it has to be)!
          In general it seems to work: we have a test client connecting to
          one of the servers and
          uses a stateless test EJB which does nothing but writing into weblogic.log.
          When this server fails, the other server resumes to work the client
          requests, BUT VERY VERY VERY SLOW!!!
          - I should repeat VERY a thousand times, because a normal client
          request takes about 10-30 ms
          and after failure/failover it takes 10-15 SECONDS!!!
          As naive as I am I want to know: IS THIS NORMAL?
          After the server is back, the performance is also back to normal,
          but we were expecting a much smaller
          performance degradation.
          So I think we are doing something totally wrong!
          Do we need some Network solution to make failover performance better?
          Or is there a chance to look closer at deployment descriptors or
          weblogic.system.executeThreadCount
          or weblogic.system.percentSocketReaders settings?
          Thanks in advance for any help!
          Fleming


See http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/cluster/setup.html#680201
          Basically, the rule of thumb is to set the number of execute threads ON
          THE CLIENT to 2 times the number of servers in the cluster and the
          percent socket readers to 50%. In your case with 8 WLS instances in the
          cluster, add the following to the java command line used to start your
          client:
          -Dweblogic.system.executeThreadCount=16
          -Dweblogic.system.percentSocketReaders=50
          Hope this helps,

Performance Degradation with EJBs

I have a small J2EE application that consists of a Session EJB calling 3 Entity EJBs that access the database. It is a simple Order capture application. The 3 Entity beans are called Orders, OrderItems and Inventory.
A transaction consists of inserting a record into the order table, inserting 5 records into the orderitems table and updating the quantity field in the inventory table for each order item in an order. With this transaction I observe performance degradation as the transactions per second decreases dramatically within 5 minutes of running.
When I modify the transaction to insert a single record into the orderitems table I do not observe performance degradation. The only difference in this transaction is we go through the for loop 1 time as opposed to 5 times. The code is exactly the same as in the previous case with 5 items per order.
Therefore I believe the problem is a performance degradation on Entity EJBs that
get invoked in a loop.
I am using OC4J 10.1.3.3.
I am using CMP (Container Managed Persistence) and CMT (Container Managed Transactions). The Entity EJBs were all generated by Oracle JDeveloper.
EJB version being used is 2.1.

One thing to consider it downloading and using the Oracle AD4J utility to see if it can help you identify any possible bottlenecks, on the application server or the database.
AD4J can be used to monitor/profile/trace applications in real time with no instrumentation required on the application. Just install it into the container and go. It can even trace a request from the app server down into the database and show you the situation is down there (it needs a db agent installed to do that).

Performance Degradation from SSL

I have read articles which are showing that performance could go down to
1/10 with certain servers (Reference
http://isglabs.rainbow.com/isglabs/shperformance/SHPerformance.html) when
using SSL.
I am cuurently using WebLogic 4.5. Can anybody tell me what kind of
performance degradation would I see if I switch all my transactions from
normal unsecure http transactions to secure ones (SSL V3)?
Any help appreciated.
best regards, Andreas

Andreas,
Internal benchmarks (unofficial) have shown SSL to be 65-80% slower than
typical connections. So, anywhere between 3 to 5 times slower. This is the
same across all http servers.
In Denali (the next release), we're adding a performance pack enhancement
that includes native code impls of some of our crypto code. This should
show large speedups when it's released in March.
Thanks!

Performance Degradation - High fetches and Prses

Hello,
My analysis on a particular job trace file drew my attention towards:
1) High rate of Parses instead of Bind variables usage.
2) High fetches and poor number/ low number of rows being processed
Please let me kno as to how the performance degradation can be minimised, Perhaps the high number of SQL* Net Client wait events may be due to multiple fetches and transactions with the client.

My analysis on a particular job trace file drew my attention towards:
1) High rate of Parses instead of Bind variables usage.
But if you look at the text you are using bind variables.
The first query is executed 239 times - which matches the 239 fetches. You cut off some of the useful information from the tkprof output, but the figures show that you're executing more than once per parse call. The time is CPU time spent using a bad execution plan to find no data -- this looks like a bad choice of index, possibly a side effect of the first_rows(1) hint.
2) High fetches and poor number/ low number of rows being processedThe second query is doing a lot of fetches because in 163 executions it is fetching 4.7 million rows at roughly 25 rows per fetch. You might improve performance a little by increasing the array fetch size - but probably not by more than a factor of 2.
You'll notice that even though you record 163 parse calls for the second statement the number of " Misses in library cache during parse" is zero - so the parse calls are pretty irrelevant, the cursor is being re-used.

Performance degradation of Weblogic 5.1 sp 6 bundled with Peoplesoft 8.1.2:

Recenly we have upgraded from Peoplesoft 7 to Peoplesoft 8.1.2
Peoplesoft 8.1.2 bundled with Peopletools(Web based front end ) for the first
time and Weblogic 5.1 sp6.
There is performance degradation of the weblogic 5.1 sp 6 (on Windows 2000 ) when
the no of users increases to 80. The Weblogic is becoming 100% CPU bound. Besides
the weblogic wont even shutdown completely when trying to shutdown.
Peoplesoft customer support advised to upgrade to Weblogic 5.1 sp 9 but sp 9 wont
support 128 bit encription which Peoplesoft 8.1.2 application need. Peoplesoft
8.1.3 will be supporting 128 bit encription after some 3 months. We have to get
along with the above mentioned configuration (Peoplesoft 8.1.2 with Weblogic 5.1
sp 9) in the mean time.
Any of you had such an experience ? Please let me know if there is a solution
or workaround.
Thanks in advance.

Performance degradation encountered while running BOE in clustered set up

Problem Statement:
We have a clustered BOE set up in Production with 2 CMS servers (named boe01 and boe02) . Mantenix application (Standard J2EE application in a clustered set up) points to these BOE services hosted on virtual machines to generate reports. As soon as BOE services on both boe01 and boe02 are up and running , performance degradation is observed i.e (response times varies from 7sec to 30sec) .
The same set up works fine when BOE services on boe02 is turned off i.e only boe01 is up and running.No drastic variation is noticed.
BOE Details : SAP BusinessObjects environment XIR2 SP3 running on Windows 2003 Servers.(Virtual machines)
Possible Problem Areas as per our analysis
1) Node 2 Virtual Machine Issue:
This currently being part of the Production infrastructure, any problem assessment testing is not possible.
2) BOE Configuration Issue
Comparison report to check the build between BOE 01 and BOE 02 - Support team has confirmed no major installation differences apart from a minor Operating System setting difference.Question being is there some configuration/setting that we are missing ?
3) Possible BOE Cluster Issue:
Tests in staging environment ( with a similar clustered BOE setup ) have proved inconclusive.
We require your help in
- Root cause Analysis for this problem.
- Any troubleshooting action henceforth.
Another observation from our Weblogic support engineers for the above set up which may or may not be related to the problem is mentioned below.
When the services on BOE_2 are shutdown and we try to fetch a particular report from BOE_1 (Which is running), the following WARNING/ERROR comes up:-
07/09/2011 10:22:26 AM EST> <WARN> <com.crystaldecisions.celib.trace.d.if(Unknown Source)> - getUnmanagedService(): svc=BlockingReportSourceRepository,spec=aps<BOE_1> ,cluster:@BOE_OLTP, kind:cacheserver, name:<BOE_2>.cacheserver.cacheserver, queryString:null, m_replaceable:true,uri=osca:iiop://<BOE_1>;SI_SESSIONID=299466JqxiPSPUTef8huXO

We see the above warning coming 2 or 3 times before the request is processed and then we see the report. We have checked our config's for the cluster but didn't find anything concrete.
Is this a normal behavior of the software or can we optimize it?
Any assistance that you can provide would be great

Rahul,
I have exactly the same problem running BO 3.1 SP3 in a 2 machine cluster on AIX. Exact same full install on both machines. When I take down one of the machines the performance is much better.
An example of the problem now is that when i run the command ./ccm.sh -display -username administrator -password xxx on the either box when they are both up and running, I sometimes receive a timeout error (over 15mins)
If I run SQLplus direct on the boxes to the CMS DB then the response is instant. Tnspings of course shows no problems
When I bring down one of the machines and run the command ./ccm.sh -display again then this brings back results in less than a minute...
I am baffled as to the problem so was wondering if you found anything from your end
Cheers
Chris

Performance degradation. Need advice on starting all over again.

I have never formatted my drive or reinstalled my OS X like I used to do with XP during the windows days. Now there is some performance degradation and opening of applications like Safari, iPhoto and others is really slow. I maintain Time Machine backups of my full Snow Leopard partition. What should I do? Format the HD, re install SL, or simply restore from TM or reinstall and then restore...?
I dont really want to carry my windows attitude to mac, of reformatting, reinstalling and then starting all apps from scratch. I wanna leverage out of my TM backup. Please advice.

Those steps, repair permissions? only checks the installed application receipts -- worthless.
Disk Utility doesn't check for bad blocks, and Apple First Aid misses and doesn't fix directory problems that are picked up by 3rd party tools like Disk Warrior.
The hatter's comments do not represent a consensus of opinion about this & are at least partially misleading.
Permissions repairs are indeed limited to comparing receipt info to actual permissions settings, but that is hardly worthless. It is well documented that mis-set permissions will cause a number of problems & resetting them to receipts values is an effective cure for those specific problems. Obviously, that won't cure problems with other causes, but since there is no magic cure-all it would be foolish to expect it to behave like one.
Regarding Disk Utility, it is true that it can't repair certain problems that some 3rd party utilities can; however, it is very effective at identifying file system problems, including those for some file systems the 3rd party apps do not support. It is also the most conservative disk utility available, designed not to attempt any repair that could result in loss of data. This is one reason it isn't as powerful as the 3rd party ones -- it is best to use it first if you suspect you have file system problems & use the more powerful ones only when necessary.
To be fair, Disk Warrior includes a directory optimization function that Disk Utility doesn't. However, an "unoptimized" directory isn't a problem in & of itself, & it is debatable how much real world benefit there is to optimizing the directory, at least with the current OS & modern high performance drives. I used to see noticeable improvements by periodically using Disk Warrior with OS 9 & the drives of that era, but these days my Macs & Snow Leopard seem to do just fine without it.
Basically, it is simple: use the tool that best does what you need to do. There is no benefit from using a sledge hammer when a tack hammer will do; in fact, the sledge hammer may do more harm than good, or just wear you out for no good reason. Also consider the wisdom of the old saying that to a hammer everything looks like a nail. Sometimes, you don't need a tool at all, just the wisdom to know that you don't.
Regarding bad sectors, every drive has them. That is not a concern by itself but the drive suddenly developing new ones is a sure sign of serious problems. Drives keep track of this themselves. Utilities provide a way to query the drives about this & may provide early warning of impending failure, but since the drive is providing the info this is not 100% reliable. For this reason, whether you use one or not, it is extremely important to backup your important data to other devices regularly & often.

Performance degradation

Hi,
I noticed that if you compile your program with jdk1.4.x version of JDK, you will get a performance degradation in your application (if you compare it with compiled code in version jdk1.3.1_02.
Have any one else noticed this degradation of performance in higher version of JDK or it is just a illusion?
Please suggest me.
Thanks!!

Performance degradation after SP 24 installation

Hi,
Our SAP BI systems are upgraded to service pack 24. After this, we see a lot of performance degradation. (Process chains are taking time to complete in BI)
Can anybody please suggest which note to apply to avoid this?
Thx in advance.

Performance degradation using Jolt ASP Connectivity for TUXEDO

We have a customer that uses Jolt ASP Connectivity for TUXEDO and is suffering
from a severe performance degradation over time.
Initial response times are fine (1 s.), but they tend to increase to 3 minutes
after some time (well, eh, a day or so).
Data:
- TUXEDO 7.1
- Jolt 1.2.1
- Relatively recent rolling patch installed (so no there are probably no JSH performance
issues and memory leaks as fixed in earlier patches)
The ULOG shows that during the night the JSH instances notice a timeout on behalf
of the client connection and do a forced shutdown of the client:
040911.csu013.cs.kadaster.nl!JSH.234333.1.-2: JOLT_CAT:1185: "INFO: Userid:
[ZZ_Webpol], Clientid: [AP_WEBSRV3] timed out due to inactivity"
040911.csu013.cs.kadaster.nl!JSH.234333.1.-2: JOLT_CAT:1198: "WARN: Forced
shutdown of client; user name 'ZZ_Webpol'; client name 'AP_WEBSRV3'"
This happens every 10 minutes as per configuration of the JSL (-T flag).
The customer "solved" the problem for the time being by increasing the connection
pool size on the IIS web server.
However, they didn't find a "smoking gun" - no definite cause for the problem.
So, it is debatable whether their "solution" suffices.
It is my suspicion the problem might be located in the Jolt ASP classes running
on the IIS.
Maybe the connection pool somehow loses connections over time, causing subsequent
users having to queue before they get served (although an exception should be
raised if no connections are available).
However, there's no documentation on the functioning of the connection pool for
Jolt ASP.
My questions:
1) What's the algorithm used for managing connections with Jolt ASP for TUXEDO?
2) If connections are terminated by a JSH, will a new connection be established
from the web server automatically? (this is especially interesting, because the
connection policy can be configured in the JSL CLOPT, but there's no info on how
this should be handled/configured by Jolt ASP connectivity for TUXEDO)

Winfried Scheulderman

Hi,
For ASP connectivity I would suggest looking at the .Net client facility provided in Tuxedo 9.1 and later.
