Q: What is DTrace?
A:
DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for the Solaris Operating System. It provides a powerful infrastructure to permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the operating system and user programs. DTrace is not part of Sun Grid Engine but is included with the Solaris 10 OS.
Q: What are the benefits of using Sun Grid Engine in conjunction with the Solaris 10 OS?
A:
When deployed in conjunction with the Solaris 10 OS, Sun Grid Engine provides the tools to detect, analyse and overcome performance bottlenecks. This functionality leverages the DTrace framework to tune the Grid Engine master, which is the most performance-sensitive component in a grid environment. This is especially useful for large grids with high throughput.
Q: Can I use DTrace even if my grid includes operating systems other than Solaris 10?
A:
Yes. Sun Grid Engine offers the freedom to run jobs on any supported operating systems. In order to use DTrace to tune the grid, only the Sun Grid Engine 6.1 master component needs to run on the Solaris 10 OS.
Q: How does Sun Grid Engine help reduce power consumption in my data center?
A:
By increasing the utilization of current data center equipment, Sun Grid Engine enables data center consolidation, by dramatically reducing overall space requirements and energy consumption in many cases by more than 50%.
