Agenda

The content of this Webcast is delivered according to the following agenda:
  • Maximising processor efficiency by reducing:
    • TLB misses
    • Cache misses
    • Memory latency
  • Configuring and tuning SAP instances
  • Tuning HP-UX 11i for SAP
  • LiveCache and other multi-threaded apps

Audience

This Webcast is intended primarily for system administrators who manage SAP applications on large HP-UX 11i systems, and who want to optimise overall system performance. The Webcast assumes the audience is familiar with basic tools and techniques for monitoring performance on HP-UX systems in general, and SAP in particular.

Objectives

This Webcast describes general principles for configuring SAP systems, utilising HP-UX features such as processor sets and cell local memory, to boost processor efficiency and maximise overall system performance, in order to help system administrators significantly improve both throughput and response time on systems that are already well-tuned for both disk and network I/O.
Database tuning is not discussed.
