Large data stores

access 12 data stores, add the following line to /etc/system and reboot before using TimesTen:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=12

Other changes that you may need to make to your Solaris system include the following:

To allow a large number of connections to a data store, add the following lines to /etc/system and reboot before using TimesTen:

set rlim_fd_cur=4096 set rlim_fd_max=4096

To enable large shared memory objects in Solaris, add the following line to /etc/system and reboot before using TimesTen:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x240000000

Note: The value 0x240000000 (a 24 followed by seven zeroes) indicates that the largest shared memory segment that can be created is 1024 MB. The size of the shared memory segment required for a data store is larger than the data store size permanent size. Set this value high enough to support the largest shared memory segment needed.

If you keep data stores on a Solaris UFS file system, and are using transaction-consistent checkpoints, you may need to change the settings of some kernel parameters to get the best performance for your checkpoints. The Solaris UFS Throttle algorithm causes processes that write a single large file to be put to sleep when a byte count threshold exceeds the high-water mark. To disable the algorithm, add the line:

set ufs:ufs_WRITES = 0

to the /etc/system file.

Alternatively, you can increase the high-water mark by adding the line:

set ufs:ufs_HW = desired value

to the /etc/system.file

You must reboot the system for the new value to take effect.

Setting the high-water mark to the size of the checkpoint file should provide satisfactory performance, although a lower value may as well. More information on the UFS Throttle algorithm may be obtained in the white paper, “Understanding Solaris Filesystems and Paging” (SMLI TR-98-55) available from http://www.sun.com.

B31679-01 specifications

Oracle Audio Technologies has long been known for its commitment to high-end audio equipment that delivers superb sound quality and innovative design. One standout product from the company is the Oracle B31679-01, a remarkable turntable that showcases their expertise in the audio domain.

The B31679-01 embodies advanced engineering principles and a passion for music reproduction. At the heart of its design is a highly rigid yet lightweight chassis that minimizes vibrations, ensuring that the audio signal remains pure and uncolored. This attention to vibration isolation is critical, as even the slightest interference can compromise the clarity and fidelity of the sound. The turntable is constructed using premium materials that enhance performance and aesthetic appeal, adding an element of sophistication to any audio setup.

One of the key features of the Oracle B31679-01 is its sophisticated suspension system. The innovative suspension technology helps decouple the turntable from external vibrations and resonances, creating a stable platform for vinyl playback. This is particularly important in environments with background noise or potential disturbances, allowing users to experience their music as intended.

Another notable characteristic of the B31679-01 is its precision-engineered tonearm. The tonearm is designed for optimal tracking, ensuring that the stylus maintains contact with the record groove, capturing every nuance of the music. By minimizing tracking error and optimizing weight distribution, the tonearm enhances overall soundstage and detail, allowing audiophiles to rediscover their vinyl collection with newfound appreciation.

In terms of motor technology, the Oracle B31679-01 features a high-torque, low-noise motor that provides reliable and consistent speed. This is crucial for vinyl playback, as variations in speed can lead to pitch inaccuracies and a less enjoyable listening experience. The motor's design is engineered to operate quietly, ensuring that no unwanted noise enters the audio signal.

The Oracle B31679-01 also stands out with its customizable features, allowing users to tailor their experience to their personal taste. From cartridge compatibility to adjustable settings, the turntable accommodates a wide range of preferences, making it a versatile choice for both casual listeners and serious audiophiles.

In summary, the Oracle B31679-01 combines advanced engineering, premium materials, and innovative technologies to create a turntable that excels in sound quality and performance. Its focus on vibration isolation, precise tonearm design, reliable motor operation, and customization options make it a distinguished choice for those seeking an exceptional vinyl experience. Oracle Audio Technologies continues to set high standards in the audio industry, and the B31679-01 is a testament to their dedication and expertise.
