10064.0. "guaranteed I/O bandwidth & CPU binding" by XFMV01::AJITK () Fri Jun 06 1997 06:03

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.
