Hey Adrian,

Have you tried turning off SMT on your test system?  From what I can
tell, smtctl can change this on-the-fly.  If that's the case, perhaps
SMT could be turned off for the duration of your batch job.

Probably overly simplistic, but maybe worth a shot.  And now to ask my
SA about SMT...  :)

GL!

Subject: CPU priority for AIX 5.3 with mixed workload

Hi,
 
My customer is running a 10.2.0.2 database on AIX5.3, p590 with 14 Power
5
CPUs and SMT enabled.
 
The day workload is 8000 dedicated user connections plus 5 or so
concurrent
long running reports.
 
They have an overnight batch job that is CPU bound and taking 8+ hours
to
run. 

On an unladen identical test system the same batch job completes in 2.5
hours.
