Updates Description
Enhanced Multi-threaded Plan Engine The Multi-threaded Plan Engine has been enhanced in the this release, leading to an approximately 50% increase in the overall throughput.
Note:
  • By default (-Dmulti.threaded.flow=0), the number of threads are decided based on the number of available core processors.
  • If the number of available core processors (N) is less than 8, the plan engine runs in single thread mode.
  • For detailed information about the multi.threaded.flow field level value, refer to planengine.bat file in the installation folder, where the user can configure this value.
  • If you want to run the Plan Engine in single thread mode, you can change the default setting to -Dmulti.threaded.flow=1.
  • You can also configure the number of active threads. The recommended value is less than or equal to N/2, where N is the number of available core processors (-Dmulti.threaded.flow>1).
