When a critical application slows to a crawl and CPU usage spikes to 100%, throwing expensive hardware at the problem is usually just a temporary band-aid. True scalability requires knowing exactly how your database engine interacts with the underlying silicon.
If you've been following our High-Performance DBA series, you’ve already learned how to master storage and memory. Now, it’s time to tackle the ultimate workhorse of your database: the CPU.
Registration is officially open for Episode 4: Beyond the Bottleneck: Mastering High-Performance CPU Optimization.
Date: June 10 Time: 10:00 AM CT
This isn't a high-level overview. This technical deep-dive will hand you an operational blueprint for granular control over how your environment utilizes processing power, revealing how tasks are scheduled, how worker threads are managed, and how bottlenecks are broken.
What’s on the Agenda?
- Hardware Alignment & Platform Efficiency: Discover how hardware choices and underlying operating system differences dictate your top-end speed and CPU utilization.
- Process Mastery: Decode the underlying logic of thread and task management, how the database engine handles scheduling, and how to avoid thread starvation.
- Throughput Control: Learn about scoping features that protect your processing power and prevent system crashes.
- Advanced Diagnostics: How to isolate CPU pressure and use essential diagnostic metrics and DMVs to fix pressure fast—before it triggers a crisis.
Bonus!
We want you to stop guessing when performance drops. All attendees will receive an exclusive, production-ready script library to immediately diagnose and resolve CPU issues in your own environments.
