Platform Symphony Multi-Core Optimizer makes the most out of multi-core servers – whether your application is multi-threaded or not. Application performance and scalability are improved through reduced IO and memory contention in multi-core environments, with increased utilization from running multiple IO-intensive tasks per core, efficiently matching resources with non-uniform workload. This Platform Symphony add-on product ensures that financial services organizations can:

Optimize utilization in mixed environments.

Platform Symphony Multi-core Optimizer dynamically maps services onto slots so you can share heterogeneous environments among any mix of application architectures (single-threaded, multi-threaded, data-intensive, I/O-intensive, compute-intensive).

Reduce data and memory contention

Platform Symphony Multi-core Optimizer extends the Common Data Optimization feature in Platform Symphony to optimize the distribution of common data and common data updates so that only one copy of the data is sent to each multi-core host serving the same session, reducing the burden on memory and network bandwidth.

Oversubscribing slots to improve utilization

Platform Symphony Multi-core Optimizer improves overall cluster utilization by enabling intelligent over-scheduling of low priority work to available cores. Preemption ensures that high priority tasks can reclaim the cores as needed, to ensure SLAs are met.
