11.8 Performance limitations of HP 9000 Containers
For most application stacks, the sizing guidelines described in Section 1.6 (page 11) ensure that
performance of an HP 9000 container is the same or better than the source HP 9000 server. The
following types of applications might incur a larger overhead when run under ARIES emulation:
• Applications that are short lived and have very flat execution profile (for example, compilers,
interpreters, shells, and scripts).
• Applications that spawn several short lived threads or processes.
• Applications that load and unload several libraries dynamically.
• Applications that perform intensive floating point arithmetic.
• Some database servers which require ARIES to enforce strong memory ordering.
• Applications that are debugged using PA-RISC WDB or traced using the PA=RISC tusc
utility.
