Seminar Description.

The Performance Research Seminar brings together our most important and recent Oracle performance research. The topics are vast yet all centered on discovering deep performance insights through experimentation and quantitative analysis. Every aspect of this seminar is based on experimental research with full detailed disclosure. This scientific approach yields deep performance insights that normally escape the DBA. Special care is taken to weave all the raw research into a cohesive seminar that is day-to-day practical. We hope you can join us for this fast paced and exciting seminar!

Some of the topics covered are; performing robust research, cache buffer chain diagnosis and acquisition patterns, memory serialization control via mutexes, alter dml batch sizes, commit time vs log file sync time, the average deception, when v$sysstat is updated, unit of work time based analysis, CPU power; core vs thread, CBC latches CPU consumption and modeling it, why tuning works and modeling it, and gathering true SQL elapsed times.
