hi,
iam stuck up with a strange problem.what are the hardware req for installing enterprise edition, i know that parallel jobs can be run on smp or MPP systems and on unix server, can't parallel jobs run on standalone systems with more memory space, i know that the load should be shared among diff nodes, but can't we do on stand alone system with more memory space.i would appreciate urgent reply

cheers;

Parallel jobs optimise by partitioning data in the job. This gets full value out of the multiple CPUs of server hardware. You get a benefit whenever you have more than one CPU, this can be one server with multiple CPUs, a cluster of servers or a grid. It also works effectively on USS for mainframe making use of mainframe parallel processing capabilities.

SMP implies standalone, doesn't it?

CPU capacity is at least as important as memory, and huge amounts of disk space.
