Notes:

The simulation combines both simulation techniques and statistical analysis to provide useful information at the object level. The results from a simulation run must be analyzed in conjunction with a Statistical analysis that shows rates and type access for each object.

The Index object is ‘well behaved’, meaning the average and maximum number of pages in the pool (Working Set or WkSet) are not large, the maximum is not multiples of the average. and they don’t increase greatly as the pool size increases.

Note the increase in hit ratio as the pool increases from 5000 to 7000 buffers, and that the Index had 51.7% of the total getpage activity.

On the other hand, look at the difference between the Avg and Max WkSet for the tablespace, and the Max ranges from 75-80% of the total pool size. These must be separated into different pools.

The simulation analysis continues on the next slide.
