Title: Automatically Tuning Database Server Multiprogramming Level
Authors: Abouzour, Mohammed
Keywords: Auto-tuning optimization database servers
Approved Date: 6-Sep-2007
Date Submitted: 2007
Abstract: Optimizing database systems to achieve the maximum attainable throughput of the underlying hardware is one of the many difficult tasks that face Database Administrators. With the increased use of database systems in many environments, this task has even become more difficult. One of the parameters that needs to be configured is the number of worker tasks that the database server uses (the multiprogramming level). This thesis will focus on how to automatically adjust the number of database server worker tasks to achieve maximum throughput under varying workload characteristics. The underlying intuition is that every workload has an optimal multiprogramming level that can achieve the best throughput given the workload characteristic.
