Hello Martin,
it seems that the upper limit of _ash_size is 250MB (on 10g and 11g). I have tested it on OEL5.3 with 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.7 (1CPU ;( only ) The parameter _ash_size is set as requested , but the real value of the buffer is limited to 250MB  

SQL> select POOL , NAME , BYTES from V$SGASTAT where NAME='ASH buffers' ;

POOL         NAME                            BYTES
------------ -------------------------- ----------
shared pool  ASH buffers                 266338304

This result is independent of Oracle shared memory management discipline (AMM or ASMM)

HTH. Milen

Hi Milen,

a short google search brought some ambiguous informations: it's controlled by _ash_size
one formula is
Max( Min ( No. of CPU * 2 M, 5% of SHARED_POOL_SIZE, 2% of SGA_TARGET) ,1M) -
http://www.nyoug.org/Presentations/2006/September_NYC_Metro_Meeting/200609Jo hal_Oracle10gs%20As.pdf
.
another: max (min (#of CPUs * 2MB, 5% of SHARED_POOL_SIZE, 30MB), 1MB) -
http://www.mhprofessional.com/downloads/products/007222729X/007222729X_chp09 .pdf

both seem to be about 10g.

Currently I have no informations if there are any changes in 11g, sorry.

happy testing with _ash* parameters.

hth,
  Martin
