Session 312 · Tuesday 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
If you have a DB2 question regarding performance tips, functionality, insights, or DB2 special features such as stored procedures, zIIPs,version 8 or 9 conversion or performance, then this is THE panel to ask. The members will be able to answer your questions and enlighten you with their valuable expertise. Come prepared with questions that affect your work life. Email them as soon as you can to db2_panel@cmg.org, or drop a written question into the Q&A box you will find at various "System z" track sessions, or hand your written questions to any ''System z'' session monitor.
Panelists include: Bonnie Baker of Bonnie Baker Corporation, Akiko Hoshikawa of IBM, Tom Moulder of EMC Corporation, Mike Wingfield of Compuware Corporation
Session 402 · Wednesday 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
The Storage Performance Council (SPC) is a cross-vendor team of storage performance experts that has built the industry’s first benchmarks for storage. These benchmarks are the standard for decision making in many organizations. The SPC has used real-world workloads as the basis of the benchmarks that are vendor-neutral and platform independent. Many SPC-1 and SPC-2 results have been published to date. This panel session will discuss the status of the SPC and the Storage Industry standard performance benchmarks available and under development including Component Benchmarks and SPC-3.
Session 403 · Wednesday 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
This session will describe the new AIX tuning parameters along with the changes to performance/tuning methodologies for AIX V6. The new algorithms for memory management will be discussed as well as the defaults that AIX V6 now deploys. We will have a discussion on workload tuning vs. system tuning and have an open forum/panel on tuning and Power 6 experiences at the end of the session.
Session 421 · Wednesday 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
CMG was founded in part on the notion that "If you can’t measurement it, you can’t manage it." But what should be done with measurements once they have been collected? Equations and spreadsheets are only part of the answer. If measurements are transformed into carefully crafted visual images, management can be more effective and it becomes significantly easier to discover and understand factors that govern the performance of complex systems. This panel of A.A. Michelson winners will share their favorite examples of especially interesting visualization techniques from a variety of areas.
