Interesting that the fetch count is different. Since there was no PIO, the Proliant would likely get better performance without indirect data buffers BTW. I'd like to see somehting that runs a bit longer such as JL Computing Index http://www.miraclebenelux.nl/jloci.html I'd also like to have measurements from my silly little benchmark (http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/01/30/oracle-on-opteron-with-lin ux-the-numa-angle-part-iii/) any chance for that? -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Fatkulin [mailto:afatkulin@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 9:02 PM To: Kevin Closson Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Sun T2000 Kevin, thanks for the question. There were no PIO involved. Here is what I see: create table t as select mod(level, 10) m10, mod(level, 25) m25, mod(level, 50) m50, level l from dual connect by level <= 500000; Proliant results: select m10, m25, m50, sum(l), count(*), min(l), max(l), avg(l) from t group by m10, m25, m50 call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 1 0 0 Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Fetch 5 0.69 0.67 0 649 0 50 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 7 0.69 0.67 0 650 0 50 T2000 results: select m10, m25, m50, sum(l), count(*), min(l), max(l), avg(l) from t group by m10, m25, m50 call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Fetch 2 4.45 4.34 0 649 0 50 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 4 4.45 4.34 0 649 0 50 Both DB were created with a 16K blocksize. And mind that - Proliant were running with use_indirect_data_buffers=true.
