5317.0. "guarantted I/O bw & cpu binding" by 23481::AJITK () Thu Jun 05 1997 04:40

Hi 

A couple of queries :

1. A customer mentioned a feature in the file system of 
SGI IRIS called "guranteed I/O bandwidth". Does anyone 
know what this means, how useful it is for commercial 
database applications ?

2. Any experiences on using the processor binding features
of Digital Unix (runoncpu, bindtocpu) in  commercial
database applications ? When would one use it ?

Thanks in advance.

    this is one for Mark Silverberg (@zko) and the comp analyst crew that
    work with him. Mark gets in the office real early, to help those of us
    who live way to the east of him....
