Re: "gc current block busy" wait in Concurrent BATCH Processes Run

Hi,

being signed to BAAG (http://www.battleagainstanyguess.com/members), I should not provide any guesses. However suggestions are not forbidden :). Especially on the diagnostics.

Presumably, you have seen the similar "Top 5" on all of the nodes. And all of the 256 jobs are "equivalent" (par ex executing the same procedure)?

Have you ever run the same workload in the "single instance" configuration? I.e. shutdown 2 of the 3 instances (or even start the instance from a separate ORACLE_HOME, which is not aware of "clusters" - $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_off). Of course, you should not compare "apples with pineapples" - i.e.decrease your workload to 1/3 for this test and look at those "Top 5". Look at "concurrency" events, i.e. "latch free", "buffer busy" and some "unusual" enqueues. Well, 85 runnign jobs ("ACTIVE "sessions) on 60 (120/3=60 ?) cpu's should produce some concurrency (in the absense of IO)?

Let the load to grow (in the single instance) - x2, x3. Compare the results in single instance.

During all of this tests, please, measure the response time for one of your "equvalent" batch jobs (trace it).

PS. Hopefully, with more diagnostic info someone in the list would be able to give a conclusion instead of the guess :-). PPS. Those "SQL*Net break/reset to client" also look like a warning for me. PPPS. The Method-R is not completely applicable in this case, as the goal of the tests is not specified.
