Recommended Kernel Tuning for TRU64 Unix 5.1
v 1.0 ( 2001 01 30 ) by mark


These are settings I have found to work well on high performance Compaq alpha machines (eg. 4+ gig RAM, 2+ proc). Some are based on known best values, some on hearsay. If you want to be anal you can match your max proc address space and data sizes to be less than the total vm (swap + physical memory). I just made mine big be because I wasn't worried about hitting the limit. Anyway, if programs hit that limit (exceed vm or proc max) the result is the probably the same: crap out.

Insert these values (be sure to include subsys heading) at the end of your /etc/sysconfigtab file. Reboot.

## ipc is tuned for informix database ##
ipc:
    ## this is the max shm-max value
    shm-max = 2147483647
    shm-mni = 2048
    shm-seg = 1024
    sem-mni = 400
    sem-msl = 1600
    sem-opm = 400
    sem-ume = 400
    ssm-threshold = 0

proc:
    ## increase this if you run many procs rather than many threads
    max-proc-per-user = 1024
    ## i recommend 512->1024 users per CPU for network servers
    ## this value is used as a base to generate others
    ## such as max file descriptors
    maxusers = 2048
    ## set high to accommodate heavily threaded database
    max-threads-per-user = 4096
    ## 8 gigs -- will your process stack be bigger? unlikely!
    per-proc-stack-size = 8589934592
    max-per-proc-stack-size = 8589934592
    ## 1 terabyte
    per-proc-data-size = 1099511627776
    max-per-proc-data-size = 1099511627776
    per-proc-address-space = 1099511627776
    max-per-proc-address-size = 1099511627776

## tuning for raw disk access by database
rt:
    aio_max_percent = 3
    aio_task_max_num = 60108
    aio_listio_max_num = 256
    sigqueue_max_num = 256

## boosted socket connection
socket:
    ## increase TCP connection listen queue size
    somaxconn = 65535
    sominconn = 65535
    ## increase (to 4 meg) size of socket buffer
    sb_max = 4194304


## more network tuning
inet:
    ## maximum number of ip input queues
    ipqs = 16
    ## number of tcp hash tables
    tcbhashnum = 16
    ## max tcp segment size
    tcp_mssdflt = 1460
    ## send and receive spaces (set to max)
    tcp_recvspace = 61440
    tcp_sendspace = 61440


Compaq's guide to system performance and tuning for version OSF1 v5.1

You can check your current values by running:
sysconfig -q (subsys) (variable)
ie.: sysconfig -q inet ipqs
