I have just started for a company that applies to the philosophy of too much of
a good thing is really a good thing, so bear with me...
The code has parallel hints everywhere- degrees often set to 8 in multiple
hints in one DML or DDL set, (parallel_threads_per_cpu=2, so start doing the
math...) The parallel_server is set anywhere from 96 to 168 and someone had
the idea that as long as they set the threshold high enough, everything would
run.
I have never seen parallel used the way it is here and I've come across some
very interesting challenges. The amount of slaves being allocated to a process
are being downgraded as resources are becoming limited by the poor choices made
in some of these simultaneous requests.
