TECHNICAL UPDATE The Oracle Authorised Solution Center (OASC) at Axiz in Midrand assists Oracle partners in providing value to customers by using Oracle technology.
Transcending Technology | Building Ecosystems Oracle announced the SPARC M7 processor in October 2015. This revolutionary new processor features Oracle’s Software in Silicon technology with unique capabilities for information security and database & Java acceleration. The performance of data analytic queries has been increased dramatically by means of Data Analytics Accelerator engines (DAX). The DAX offloads query processing and performs real-time data compression in memory. This inline decompression feature now allows storage of up to twice as much data in the same memory footprint and all of this without any performance penalty. The OASC performed some internal tests on the SPARC S7 processor chip that uses the same core technology as the M7. Comparative tests were run on a SPARC Minicluster S7-2 system and the latest x86 system using Intel E5-2600 v4 processor technology. The Oracle sample schema for Database 12c was used to create two identical tables, each with 88 million rows of sales data on both the SPARC system and the x86 system. The same number of resources was assigned to both systems. One of the tables was configured to run in-memory. The same complex SQL query was run on both tables and the execution times were recorded. The results were very impressive. The in-memory query ran between 3-4 times faster on the x86 system. On the SPARC system, using the new DAX feature, the query ran 35-40 times faster, proving the fact that DAX really works! Oracle has just released the SPARC M8 processor which now contains Software in Silicon version 2.0 and promises to provide even better performance for analytics workloads.
