Processors

Parameters in this group configure processors in an SMP environment.

[Processors]
	max online engines = 8
	number of engines at startup = 3
	statement cache size = DEFAULT

max online engines = 8 This tunable option specifies the maximum number of ASE engines that can be online at any one time in an SMP environment. The value should be set equal to the number of logical CPUs or to the number of logical CPUs - 1.

number of engines at startup = 3 This tunable option is used during start-up to set the number of engines brought online. The value must be less than or equal to the number of CPUs on your machine and not greater than the specified value of max online engines. You need CPUs for both the client and the server, and you should allow at least 1 CPU for BCP processes. You need to allow 1 CPU for other processes and the operating system as well.
