VMKernelSW
Provides the ability to analyze and troubleshoot
HP-UX operating system behavior. Captures
information on kernel procedure calls, parameters
and timing across all processes and processors,
and reports it on demand.
Kernel Tracing on
HP-UX (ktracer)
Allows users and processes to have group-level
permissions based on a larger number of groups
than the previous fixed limit.
NGROUPS Expansion
Provides high and low thresholds on buffered
data in the pipe. As a result, major performance
improvement can be seen on a multiprocessor
environment when multiple threads are operating
on the same fifo. Software Pack feature, optional
on all OEs.
FIFOENH
Enhancement makes it possible to tune the size
of the kernel base page, which was formerly fixed
at 4 KB. Now the additional sizes 8 KB, 16 KB, and
64 KB are available. The larger kernel base page
size reduces the kernel's memory footprint and
makes certain memory management operations
more efficient.
