Subject: "free buffer waits" under eXtreme Transaction Loads
 
Folks
 
How are "free buffer waits" (below) to be addressed?
 
Case - Benchmark of OLTP Transactions(ATM Trans) of a Banking
Application
 
Machine - HP Superdome
Storage XP1024
DB Server =3D 32 CPUs (Itanium)
CPU Utilization =3D 30 % approx
 
For log file sync wait (below) we are considering assigning 4
controllers exclusively to the 4 logfiles(raw)
 
Will provide any data needed
 
Thanks
