Maximum Number of processors

Hi,
I am just wondering is there any limitation in number of processors for oracle.
If yes.
I like to know about the maximum number of processors oracle can support and the version information
Please guide me to get this information.
Thanks
Elango

I don't think that there is any limit from the Oracle side because it is the OS which takes care of the different process and so it's the OS which balances the load between the different processors.
For example it works on a Sun Fire E25K with 72 processor. But don't forget that the licensing cost per processor is somthing like 40k$.

Maximum number of processor sockets in Windows Server 2012 Datacenter and Standard

I have found no documentation on the technical number of supported processor sockets supported by Windows Server 2012 for the Standard and Datacenter editions.
Some donation websites like Techsoup claim that Datacenter supports 64 physical processors and Standard 8, but I can find no authoritative confirmation of this and those look like extrapolation from Windows Server 2008 R2.
So what are the maximum supported # of processor sockets, assuming you have licenses for all of them, for Datacenter and Standard? Do they differ by edition?
In addition, is it true that the total # of supported logical processors in a single system is 640 w/o Hyper-V? It was originally reported to be that, but since Hyper-V's number doubled from 160 in the Beta to 320 in the RC and RTM, did this double too?

You might find some of the information you are looking for here -
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/C/A/2CA38362-37ED-4112-86A8-FDF14D5D4C9B/WS%202012%20Feature%20Comparison_Hyper-V.pdf. I know there is one change that is not reflected there. Recently the maximum number of virtual machines supported
in a cluster was raised to 8,000 instead of the 4,000 reflected in this document.
The maximum number of sockets for Standard would be two because that is the maximum number that the license supports. Standard has never supported 8. Prior to 2012, it supported 4, and then the licensing changed with 2012 so that Standard would
be sold per processor (socket) with a maximum of two. Technically, the binaries are the same for Standard and Datacenter, so you can most likely get it to run with more somehow, but it is not a supported configuration.
The maximum number of sockets for Datacenter would be 64 - that has not changed from 2008. I make this statement based on the fact that Datacenter supports a maximum of 64 virtual CPUs when run as a virtual machine. Virtual machines don't have
the distinction of socket versus hyper-thread versus core. They see what is presented to them as a processor. But, I doubt very much that you will find any off-the-shelf 64 socket systems; most vendors are relying on the core densities instead
of socket density in order to deliver the horsepower. The above referenced document still shows 320 as the maximum number of logical processors, with or without Hyper-V.

Increasing maximum number of Logical Processors in a Processor Group greater than the default (64)

Can the maximum number of Logical Processors allowed in a Processor Group be increased by Bcdedit command or registry key to a number greater than the default (64) to allow non-group-aware applications to seamlessly scale via multithreading across more cores
MSDN documents methods to reduce the max number of LP's in a Processor Group to 1 or any power of 2 less than 64 in order to increase the number of Processor Groups. But there is no discussion of how to increase the maximum number of Logical Processors
allowed in a Processor Group to a number greater than the default (64), e.g. to 128 or 256.
Since a non-group-aware application/process can only run on 1 Processor Group, increasing this limit is needed to allow non-group-aware multithreaded applications to scale seamlessly for parallel computation across more than 64 cores simultaneously on systems
with more than 64 cores (for example, a quad-socket Intel Xeon system with 24 cores per socket, including true and hyper cores). If that limit can be set via registry key or command line, or if there is another way to force all the cores on
all 4 sockets (4 NUMA nodes in this case) to join in 1 Processor Group, then non-group-aware applications will not need to be rewritten using group-aware thread-affinity APIs.

Hi John,
Are you trying to specify a static NUMA-node-to-group assignment, rather than letting Windows dynamically assign NUMA nodes to groups at boot time? If yes, You can refer the
following related KB:
How to manually configure K-Group assignment on multiprocessor machines
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2506384
Systems with fewer than 64 logical processors always have a single group, Group 0. On systems with 64 or fewer processors, existing applications will operate correctly without
modification. Applications that do not call any functions that use processor affinity masks or processor numbers will operate correctly on all systems, regardless of the number of processors. To operate correctly on systems with more than 64 logical processors,
the following kinds of applications might require modification:
•Applications that manage, maintain, or display per-processor information for the entire system must be modified to support more than 64 logical processors. An example of
such an application is Windows Task Manager, which displays the workload of each processor in the system.
•Applications for which performance is critical and that can scale efficiently beyond 64 logical processors must be modified to run on such systems. For example, database
applications might benefit from modifications.
•If an application uses a DLL that has per-processor data structures, and the DLL has not been modified to support more than 64 logical processors, all threads in the application
that call functions exported by the DLL must be assigned to the same group.
By design, a non-NUMA computer is considered to have one NUMA node. Because NUMA nodes cannot span groups, the system creates a node for each group after you restart the computer.

[Project Server 2010] Maximum Number of Job processor Threads in the queue settings

Hello,
I have a farm with SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 installed. The farm contains:
2 web front end servers
3 application servers
Each servers has 4 processors
The SQL databases are installed on our database servers.
The Microsoft Project Server Queue Service 2010 is started on the 2 web front end servers and on 1 applicative server.
We have two instances of PWA are installed on this farm.
I have calculated that the number of availabe processors we could have on this farm is : 4 processors X 3 application servers (the ones where the project queue is started) = 12. Is that correct? I'm not sure of the definition of the applicaton
server that is used in
this article )
If I set the Maximum Number of Job Processor Threads (in the queue setting) to 2 per queue and per instance. We could have 2 Job processor X 3 application servers X 2 pwa instance = 12 threads to operate at the same time, is it correct?
If yes, do you think this is a too high number of threads?
Thanks for your help
Aline

Hi Aline,
These settings are for fine tuning the servers, and are only one of many performance parameters. If you notice the response from the server is slow, regarding Queues, then I would think about amending these upwards, but also with a careful eye on processor
utilisation. If you up the thread count and the system isn't any more performant, then I would look elsewhere for perf improvements. Before you do anything of course, baseline the performance of the system.

Which is the maximum number of simultaneous IP sessions on 7600 with/out SAMI?

Please I need help from someone who has ever wondered and get to know the maximum number of simultaneous IP sessions on 7600.
On the documentation, this is the applicable information that we find regarding the number of sessions:
http://www9.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/isg/configuration/guide/isg_acess_sub_sessns_ps6922_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html
Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, the Cisco 7600 router supports IP subscriber sessions only on the SIP400 and ES+ line cards
The Cisco 7600 router enforces limits on the number of IP subscriber sessions per line card and router chassis. If the number of active sessions exceeds the following limits, an error message displays:
- Cisco 7600 chassis—32,000 subscriber sessions (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE1 and later releases)
- ES+ line card—4000 subscriber sessions per port group; 16,000 sessions per line card (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE and later releases)
- SIP400 line card—8000 subscriber sessions (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRD4 and later releases)
Let us suppose that we use the SIP400 line card, since ES+ is far from our networking requirements.
Please confirm/answer the following:
No special license is required to use ISG with SIP400.
Is the 8000 session limitation per SIP400 module or per SPA attached to it?
I read in the documentation, that the SAMI card enhances the maximum number of ISG sessions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/isg/configuration/guide/isg_sup_sami_blade.html
The ISG Support for SAMI Blade feature combines the subscriber management features and functions of the Cisco Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) with the processing power of the Cisco Service Application Module for IP (SAMI). The Cisco SAMI blade has six PowerPC (PPC) processors and occupies just one slot in the Cisco 7600 series router. This means that you can support many ISG features for up to 600,000 subscribers on a single router.
We then assume that the SAMI blade overcomes the limitations noted above: 32,000 session/chassis and 8,000 sessions/SIP400. Correct?
No extra license is required to use ISG with SAMI.

How I can load a license in a home agent (modulo SAMI), which is installed in a 7606-S router?.

Maximum Number of NICs and Ethernet Ports

Dear Friend,
I am looking into constructing a Sun system with the maximum number of ethernet ports.
Q1: is there a Solaris 8 specific maximum number of ethernet ports that it can support?
Q2: i know you can get quad ethernet cards, but anyone know of cards that offer more than four per card?
Q3: assuming the cards will be PCI, which sun machine offers the maximum number of PCI slots?
I really appreciate your help
many thanks
wagwan

Hi Rukbat
Thanks for your response.
> A1: There isn't any limitation within the OS.
> Your limitations are from the hardware of the system.
Indeed, I did not think there would be a limit from within the OS. I have had a research sun machine with some 12+1 ports, an ol'Ultra-10 actually. i got upto that many ports by using three qfe's and there is one port already on the system (hme0)
>If you have too much packet traffic for your cpu modules
> and RAM, you'll have delays, data corruption, or even
> system panics.
one accepts that there would be delays - naturally. but I am not sure why there would be data corruption or even panics. that to me sounds very very serious.
the ultra-10 seems to be working ok; I never saw it crash once. But I must confess that the traffic load is not THAT high.
> Long time ago, there was a general rule-of-thumb
> for the QFE cards:
> -- one cpu per TWO ethernet ports,

erm erm I would say that is pretty low, but I would not call myself an expert on this really.
> I'm sure there is a similar suggestion for QGE's and fast
> cpu's in this 21st century.
i would like to think that one modern cpu should be ok for about 10 ports with reasonable traffic load. I am judging this by the old Ultra-10 I have built, beside which I have no supporting evidence.
> A2: There are no Sun-qualified adapters with more than
> four ports per card.
i am surprised at that.
> Third party hardware? you'd be on your own and need

yes I agree

I take your point about the physical space on the backplate. I have found one company that is knocking up 6-port devices, and from what I gather, that is as much as one is gonna get.
> A3: A Sunfire E6900 would be able to be configured for 32

that is a good hint actually. that is the high-end range I think.
in any case, I think the sort of machine I would be looking for is in sun's mid-range of servers. something like a V440, which has 6 PCI slots for use. I could potentially have (6x6)+2=38 ports. It is also capable of taking four 1.593-GHz UltraSPARC IIIi processors, and my gut feeling is that the four processors will be ok to support 38 ports.
I am still open to take advice of course. Indeed I would very much appreaciate further thoughts!

How to change the maximum number of process per user in BW ?

Hi,
Do you know how to change the maximum number of process allowed per user ?
With RSRT we can customize the number of process per query but I don't know where we can customize the maximum number of process per user.
In fact, my production environment reach always the max number of process available in SM50...
Thanks a lot

Hi,
A user is not have the No. of processor but a work process can handle N No. of users. If a user hit any transaction v acn say from a list of N worl proceesor which has been taken the work.
Correct if I am wrong.

Maximum number size

What's the maximum number of digits in a number field, and can this be increased ??
A staged data table imported in to EDQ (V8) from another system (not a spreadhseet or text file) has numbers that include up to 17 difgits.
Processes like convert number to string (and filtering on results with =) seem to say that only the first 15 digits are used.
Anyone seen this or better still know how to make the maximum number of digits bigger ??

In case anyone wants to respond, here's some more details.
Source system is a Sybase 10 database and the source fields have decimal18 descriptors.
Staged data is a straight pull from the relevant sybase tables, no selections or filters or sqls.
Viewing the staged data appears clean - no errors on the staged data pull.
Using the filter to find 10688011000001101 shows 1 result - but the record it shows is 10688011000001100 - clearly NOT the same.
Same thing happens in a look-up processor where it finds an entry but the entry is the wrong one (close as above but still wrong).
The same does not happen when less digits are present - looks like 14 digits works all the time.

Maximum number of still images in a sequence exceeded

Model Name: iMac
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processors: 2.8 Ghz
Memory: 4GB
Bus Speed: 800MHz
FCP 7.0.3
So what's the maximum number of still images that are allowed in a single sequence in FCP 7?
Does it vary from FCP 6, 5, Express etc.?

You have to zoom in to read the yellow message box that appears when the mouse is loitering over the orange unlimited-time bar above the sequence.
For your pleasure I have typed it out:
"Video: Unlimited
Audio: Media File
_*The maximum number of real-time still images has been exceeded in this sequence.*_
A motion of composting effect can not be played in real time.
Real time playback is not supported for the clip on track 1.
The nested sequence on track 2 does not match this sequence settings.
The nested sequence on track 11 does not match this sequence settings."
Basically we're doing the "Artists Showcase" and artists send in photos and not all of them will be able to match the sequence settings since we take what we can get.
Besides that the estimated number of still images is 480.

Maximum number of contemporary users

Hi Everybody,
in my company we're planning for a new "Portal & Wireless" installation, and we need to know how many contemporary users can be served by the system. We have a three-tier architecture, with two different servers for the middle-tier (IBM x342, with 2 intel Pentium III 1400 MHz processors and 2GBs Ram memory)load-balanced by a Radware machine, and with the infrastructure (DB, SSO & OID) installed on a 4 Ultra Spark 400 MHz processors system (4GBs Ram). Does someone know any sort of algorithm to get the maximum number of contemporary user? Otherwise, which way can I estimate that value? Do you know any 'enlightening' document about this issue?
Thanx!

There is no easy answer to this question. You may find this document interesting.
How your hardware performs will vary widely based upon what you run on it.
Estimating anything can be a complex and error-prone process, that's why it's an 'estimation' not a 'calculation'.
Primarily there are three approaches to sizing a portal implementation, these can be identified as:
Algorithm or Calculation based
An algorithm or process that accepts inputs from the customer (e.g. user count, page count, hits, latency, doc size etc) and attempts to deliver a processing requirement is probably the most commonly accepted tool for delivering sizing estimations.
Unfortunately this approach is also the most inaccurate.
When considering a logical n-tier enterprise class portal implementation the number of variables involved in delivering a calculation that even approaches a realistic sizing response would require input values numbering in excess of one hundred, and calculations so complex and sensitive that providing an input value plus or minus 1% of the correct value would result in wildly inaccurate results.
The other approach to calculation based solutions would be to simplify the calculation to the point where it was simple to understand and simple to use. Unfortunately the sizing results delivered from this approach would also be wildly inaccurate.
Size-by-Example based
A size-by-example (SBE) approach requires a set of known samples that may be used as data-points along the thermometer of system size. The more examples available for SBE the more accurate the intended implementation will be. Asking a customer how many users they will have, what those usage patterns are likely to be and what type of content they intend to deploy on the portal are all questions that they should be able to answer. Asking them the likely cache-hit-ratio for a portlet is probably something they won't be able to answer unless you're asking the right people. Normally in a pre-sales situation the customer will not know the answers to questions like that. Those are the types of questions that would be required for the algorithm approach.
Oracle has the ability to deliver targeted SBE sizing solutions for our prospective portal customers through reference implementation documents that outline both our internal deployments and customer's external deployments.
By using these real world examples both customers and Oracle can be assured that the configurations being proposed have been implemented before and will provide the performance and functionality unique to the proposed implementation.
Proof of Concept based
A proof of concept (POC) or pilot based approach offers the most accurate sizing data of all three approaches.
A POC allows the customer to do the following :
Test their portal implementation design
Test their chosen hardware platform
Test their caching strategy
Simulate projected load
Validate design assumptions
Validate Oracle9iAS Portal
Provide iterative feedback for their implementation team
Adjust or validate the implementation decisions made prior to the POC
There is, however, two downsides to a POC based approach, namely time and money.
Running a POC requires the customer to have manpower, hardware and the time available to implement the solution, validate the solution, iterate changes and re-test and finally analyze the POC findings.
A POC is always the best and recommended approach for any sizing exercise, it will deliver results that are accurate for the unique implementation of the specific customer, and that are as close to deploying the real live solution as possible but without the capital outlay on hardware and project resources.
Hope this helps
Jason Pepper

Maximum number of connection supported by weblogic

Hello,
In our current applicatin we are using weblogic 7.0 as the app server and Oracle 9i as the db server.
The problem is the system is running out of connection frmo the connection pool very frequently, it is because of increase in the number of users,So far we have the maximum number of connectin capacity in the weblogic connection pool is 159default value). We thought of increasing the connection as an immediate solution.
Would like to know what is the maximum value that can be set as max connection attirubute.Does weblogic gives any restriction about max number of connection in the pool or the db server decides?
Can any you please provide maximum what value we can set for both weblogic as well as oracle.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Maximum number of Oracle-10/11 instances on a Windows server?

Hi,
What is the maximum number of oracle 10/11 database instances that can be installed on a Windows-32 server.
Also what is advisable?
Assuming each database instance will have no more than 4 concurrent users with light usage.
Windows Server - 2008 4GB Ram Xeon or similar processor.
Many Thanks

You can have any number of instances installed on the server. 42 is a great number.
Just don't turn on more than one or two instances at a time.
Better might be to look at, and understand, 'schema' concept - it may be possible to use multiple schemas in one instance/database to accomplish the same thing as your multiple instance proposal.

SQL Server number of processors limitation and licenses

In the following link by Microsoft they are showing the number of processors one instance of SQL Server is limited to use
Compute Capacity Limits by Edition of SQL Server
And also they are saying:
"These limits apply to a single instance of SQL Server. They represent the maximum compute capacity that a single instance will use. They do not constrain the server upon which the instance may be deployed. In fact deploying multiple instances of SQL
Server on the same physical server is an efficient way to use the compute capacity of a physical server with more sockets and/or cores than the capacity limits below."
My question:
Does this implies that when I licenses the server I licenses all server processors once regardless of the number SQL Server instances installed on that one server.
For example if I have one server that has 32 cores. I have to buy licenses for all 32 cores once with amount X, but I can install as much instances as I want and the amount X will remain X, and it will not be:
X * number of instances installed
... is this true ?

Thanks Diramoh...
Just to make sure that you've answered what I've
exactly asked about:
ONLY under [Server+CAL] licensing model: If I paid amount X for license, this amount will NOT defer depending on
the number of SQL Server instances installed on ONE OS.
Example: if I paid 1000$ for licensing a server under
[Server+CAL] licensing model, and I installed 1 instance of SQL Server, those 1000$ will remain 1000$ even if I install another two SQL server instances on the same OS where the 1st is installed.
Under Core-Base licensing model: If I paid amount X for licensing SQL Server on Y number of cores on ONE OSE, then I installed another N number of SQL Server on that same OSE, then the total amount for licensing will be X * N.
Example: if I paid 1000$ for licensing SQL Server Standard under Core-base licensing model on 4 core machine that has MS Windows Server 2008 R2, then I installed another SQL Server Standard edition on that same Windows Server, the total amount of licensing
will be 1000$ * 2 = 2000$
Please confirm the above two points are correct and that that what you meant to say.
Note: The numbers in the examples are just for example :)
