Afaik, most of such changes to the new kernel branch are independent of whatever you run on top of it. There are improvements in scheduling of processes and threads, there are improvements on diskacessing algortims (I think) and such. All databases have more or less similar requirements, like: Fast random disk access, efficient multithreading/multiprocessing With such kernelimprovements, postgresql will probably automatically take advantage of such improvements. On the other hand, there might be a few kernelparameters that need tuning and those should be explained in the performance-tuning documents, as soon as there is more information on their behaviour and such :) Regards, Arjen > Martin_Hurst@dom.com wrote: > > I was reading the following Information Week article: > http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?article ID=10100565&pgno=2 ------------------------------------------------ Linux is likely to make inroads in the enterprise with the release later this year of the 2.6 kernel, tuned for use with databases, Witham says. Changes to the Linux 2.6 kernel will let programs access more data with greater reliability and run heavier processing loads. It will improve the performance of databases on eight- and 16-way symmetric multiprocessor servers, include new file systems that provide faster access to data with greater reliability, and make it easier to manage and configure storage on large arrays. ------------------------------------------------ Are there plans to have Postgresql take advantage of the new Linux 2.6 kernel? -Martin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
