  2. Oracle RAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_RAC

    Oracle RAC allows multiple computers to run Oracle RDBMS software simultaneously while accessing a single database, thus providing clustering. In a non-RAC Oracle database, a single instance accesses a single database. The database consists of a collection of data files, control files, and redo logs located on disk.

  3. System Global Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Global_Area

    redo log buffer: contains information about database transactions, both committed and uncommitted, in preparation for writing to online redo log files; shared pool: holds the dictionary or row cache, the library cache, cursor definitions and shared SQL. Java pool: holds information for parsing Java statements.

  4. Oracle Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Database

    Oracle Database (commonly referred to as Oracle DBMS, Oracle Autonomous Database, or simply as Oracle) is a proprietary multi-model [4] database management system produced and marketed by Oracle Corporation. It is a database commonly used for running online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing (DW) and mixed (OLTP & DW) database ...

  5. Database caching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_caching

    Database caching is a process included in the design of computer applications which generate web pages on-demand (dynamically) by accessing backend databases.. When these applications are deployed on multi-tier environments that involve browser-based clients, web application servers and backend databases, [1] [2] middle-tier database caching is used to achieve high scalability and performance.

  6. File locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking

    In AmigaOS, a lock on a file (or directory) can be acquired using the Lock function (in the dos.library). A lock can be shared (other processes can read the file/directory, but can't modify or delete it), or exclusive so that only the process which successfully acquires the lock can access or modify the object.

  7. Distributed lock manager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_lock_manager

    A lock value block is associated with each resource. This can be read by any process that has obtained a lock on the resource (other than a null lock) and can be updated by a process that has obtained a protected update or exclusive lock on it. It can be used to hold any information about the resource that the application designer chooses.

  8. Test and test-and-set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_and_Test-and-set

    In computer architecture, the test-and-set CPU instruction (or instruction sequence) is designed to implement mutual exclusion in multiprocessor environments. Although a correct lock can be implemented with test-and-set, the test and test-and-set optimization lowers resource contention caused by bus locking, especially cache coherency protocol overhead on contended locks.

  9. Read-copy-update - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-copy-update

    Read-copy-update insertion procedure. A thread allocates a structure with three fields, then sets the global pointer gptr to point to this structure.. A key property of RCU is that readers can access a data structure even when it is in the process of being updated: RCU updaters cannot block readers or force them to retry their accesses.
