*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Thread Model
 Unlike UNIX ports of Oracle Database 10g,
Oracle Database 10g on Windows is
implemented as a single operating system
process.
 Typical “processes” such as PMON and
LGWR have been converted to native
Windows threads running in the single large
Oracle process.
 One process exists per instance on a
Windows machine.

SGA contains
db buffers,
log buffers
shared pool,
other memory
allocations
Each thread
consists of
PGA, stack,
other memory
allocations

*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Thread Model
 Internally, relatively few code changes are
required to implement the thread model. The
SGA and PGAs are allocated differently and
threads are used instead of processes, but
very little else needs to change.
 As a result, it’s easy to maintain and port the
database while at the same time preserving
it’s inherent stability, features, and
performance.

*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Thread Model
 Thread model benefits:
–
–
–
–
–
Faster context switches
Decreased memory usage
Quicker connection times
Perceived as a more “native” implementation
since it uses threads versus processes
No changes required for client applications

*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: File I/O
 Full support for 64-bit file I/O enables very
large files to be used by Oracle Database 10g
on Windows
–
–
There are no 2GB or 4GB limitations on
database file sizes.
The maximum size for an entire database on
Windows is 4 petabytes (64K files x 16K
bytes/block x 4M blocks/file).
Text and slide content Copyright © 2003 Intel Corporation.
Slide background Copyright © 2003 Oracle Corporation..
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: File I/O
 Async file I/O is built into Windows and Oracle
Database 10g supports async I/O to all types
of files, assuming that the portable code
layers utilize async I/O.
 No limits on the number of files in a single
database except those already imposed by
Oracle portable code (around 64K files).
 Raw files are fully supported. They are better
performing than file system files, but are
harder to manage.

*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Tuning
 Both CPU affinities and thread priorities can
be set and manipulated via registry
parameters on a thread-by-thread basis.
 With the introduction of Windows-based
NUMA platforms, Oracle Database 10g has
been enhanced to recognize NUMA systems
and adjust memory and scheduling operations
accordingly.

*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Tuning
 Single production instances of Oracle on
Windows support more than 2000 concurrent
connections.
 With the use of technologies such as
multiplexing, connection pooling, and clusters,
the number of users supported by a single
physical database grows much higher.

Slide background Copyright © 2003 Oracle Corporation..
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Tuning
 New for Oracle Database 10g:
– Fiber model support
 An extension of the thread support already in
place since Oracle7. Users may now run the
database in fiber mode, which employs Oraclescheduled fibers instead of O/S scheduled
threads.
 For CPU intensive apps, this will provide a
performance boost and reduce CPU utilization.

Slide background Copyright © 2003 Oracle Corporation..
*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
Architecture: Tuning
 New for Oracle Database 10g:
– Large Page support
 Using new APIs in Windows Server 2003, Oracle
can now allocate database buffers in fewer larger
memory pages. This reduces the amount of CPU
overhead required to access large amounts of
RAM.
 For instances with large memory requirements,
large page support on both 32 and 64-bit Windows
can improve performance.

Test Strategy
 The strategy for the comparison between a 32-bit
XEON® Oracle9i system and a 64-bit Itanium2®
Oracle9i system was to generate an identical load on
each system and compare both resource usage and
performance under that load.
 Performance Monitor was used for resource usage
capture.
 Application Characterization Tool – Application Expert
by Compuware was used for capturing performance.
 Visual Test Scripts were used to generate the user
load against a thick client, connecting through an
application server, which then connected to the 32-bit
or 64-bit database backend, depending on the test.
