<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>Specifies
|
||
|
|
whether to allow parallel processing and whether the type of parallel processing
|
||
|
|
is input/output (I/O) parallel processing or symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
|
||
|
|
For I/O parallel processing, the database manager can use multiple tasks for
|
||
|
|
input/output auxiliary storage processing for each query. Processing for the
|
||
|
|
central processing unit (CPU) is still done serially. For symmetric multiprocessing,
|
||
|
|
the CPU and I/O processing are assigned to tasks that run the query in parallel.
|
||
|
|
Actual CPU parallelism requires a system with multiple processors. SMP parallelism
|
||
|
|
is used only if the system feature DB2<sup>®</sup> Symmetric Multiprocessing for i5/OS is installed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Example:</span> To determine what parts you need to buy for
|
||
|
|
your company, you run a query of inventory from a database. By running the
|
||
|
|
query, you determine which parts are sold out so you can replace them with
|
||
|
|
new parts. The query takes a long time to complete because the processors
|
||
|
|
cannot run at the same time. To increase the system performance, you should
|
||
|
|
allow parallel processing. This allows different processors to run at the
|
||
|
|
same time to perform the query much faster.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following are possible
|
||
|
|
options:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">Do not allow parallel processing (*NONE)</span> <p>No
|
||
|
|
parallel processing is allowed for database query processing.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Use multiple processes for input/output (*IO)</span> <p>The
|
||
|
|
database query optimizer can use any number of tasks for I/O parallel processing
|
||
|
|
for queries. SMP parallel processing is not allowed.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Use multiple processes for input/output, queries, and indexes
|
||
|
|
(*OPTIMIZE)</span> <p>The query optimizer can use any number of tasks
|
||
|
|
for either I/O or SMP parallel processing for queries. If you select to use
|
||
|
|
multiple processes for input/output, queries, and indexes, you can also select
|
||
|
|
to <span class="uicontrol">Use all active memory in memory pool (*MAX)</span>. Using
|
||
|
|
all active memory allows the query optimizer to choose an access plan that
|
||
|
|
might consume more of the system resources, but would provide faster run time
|
||
|
|
for a given query.</p>
