Abstract

Large scale OLTP workloads on modern database servers are well understood across the industry. Their runtime performance characterizations serve to drive both server side software features and processor specific design decisions but are not understood outside of the primary industry stakeholders. We provide a rare glimpse into the performance characterizations of processor and platform targeted software optimizations running on a large-scale 32 processor, Intel® Itanium® 2 based, ccNUMA platform.
