Squeezing the last drops of performance from the T1000
- IT TOPICS:Enterprise Apps, Hardware, Management, Networking, Operating Systems
I've just spent 45 minutes on the phone with an expert from Sun talking about how I can squeeze even more performance out of the T1000 after my report, T1000 web performance results initial thoughts.
It was one of those conversations that was littered with more TLAs (three letter abbreviations) and expressions that would have sounded like Martian to the general populace. It was, despite this, phenomenally useful.
It also shows just how complex the optimization process can be; there are so many things to think about, from the performance of the network hardware, the driver that supports it, the OS stack that provides this interface on to the application, and of course the application itself. With so many things to consider, it's no wonder that it can take months to get the best out of a system.
For all those people who have their kit on one month or three month trials, make sure you get the best out of the kit in that time, because even with the best will in the world, it can take you that long just to tune the lower levels of the application and hardware.
