Calculating System Parameters for UNIX and Linux<br />

B.1 Determine Memory and Disk Requirements<br />

This section outlines the basic system requirements for most systems. Because these<br />

requirements vary by platform, consult your platform documentation for additional information.<br />

B.1.1 Calculate Memory Requirements<br />

Use the breakdown of memory usage shown in the following table to calculate the memory<br />

your system needs for <strong>Caché</strong>.<br />

UNIX Memory Requirements<br />

Components<br />

Operating system<br />

<strong>Caché</strong><br />

Global database cache<br />

Routine cache<br />

User overhead<br />

Network (if present)<br />

Memory Requirements<br />

1800 KB (operating system dependent)<br />

842 KB<br />

8 KB per buffer<br />

32 KB per routine buffer<br />

1024 KB per process<br />

300 KB per port for each network system process<br />

(DMNNET, DCP, and RECEIVE). <strong>Caché</strong> ports have two<br />

DMNNET system processes per port. In addition, there is<br />

a network shared memory requirement, which depends on<br />

the number of ports and the number of remote hosts<br />

configured. For a basic system, this requirement is about<br />

304 KB.<br />

By default, <strong>Caché</strong> automatically allocates shared memory, including routine buffers and<br />

global buffers, to a total of one-eighth of the system available shared memory space. If you<br />

plan to run large applications or support large numbers of users, tune the system according<br />

to the following formula:<br />

(number of routine buffers)*32 KB<br />

+ (number of global buffers)*8 KB<br />

+ 4 MB<br />
