Hello,

We are running some performance testing on NT to prove how scalable Oracle 7.3.4 and 8.0.5 is, and to use that information to influence our architecture accordingly.

We see connection threads being scheduled to the least busy processor, and are happy with the results. However, it seems that when a single connection thread is running against the Oracle server, the set of core Oracle threads (dbwr, pmon, smon, etc.) do not get scheduled evenly between the three idle processors.

Does anyone know if on NT4.0 that Oracle 7.3.4 Worgroup Server threads can be scheduled on separate processors, and how to verify that is or is not happening?

On a Unix smp box, can the different Oracle processes be scheduled on distinct processors?

Thanks!
Jon
