SOA built on Exalogic Engineered Stack

Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software 1.0
SOA 9X Response Time
Weblogic Server (Web 3.1X; JMS 3.1X; Enterprise Java 2.3X)
Socket Direct Protocol (SDP) over InfiniBand (IB) for JDBC and Network Channels
(66% Buffer Copy Reduction)
Exalogic Optimized Self Tuning Thread Pool
Scatter/Gatter I/O (40Gb/s InfiniBand with 64K MTU for IPoIB or >=32K MTU for
SDP)
Cluster one-way multi-channel RMI with lazy de-serialization
Exalogic and Exadata clusters Active Grid Link, SQLNet over InfiniBand (SDP)
(3X OLTP Gain, 960 Gb/s)
Note: Above improvements are in general when comparing S/W running on EL with EL optimizations and IB vs
without EL optimizations and 1GbE* (based on information from PSR)

SOA Exalogic Optimizations

Increased throughput, lower response time, lower memory/CPU usage
XML Processing
Import node used with SDOM, along with shallow copy, optimization (2x)
XSLT: improved multi-threaded performance (6x), reduced CPU usage for SDOM (12% lower)

BPEL
Instance state cached in Coherence (DB CPU: up to 40% lower, ART: upto 20% lower)
Audit data batched and written asynchronously to DB
Note: Above improvements are in general when comparing the micro-benchmark with S/W running on EL with EL optimizations and IB
vs without EL optimizations and 1GbE* (based on information from PSR)

Adapters
Database: Write to Coherence (with Write-Behind to DB)
File: Improved multi-threaded performance. Partitioned Threaded Model (4 threads), Unlimited ConcurrentThreshold, Optimized Write
operation, Working directory on Flash Drive

B2B - Cache usage (Connection, TPA, ECS File) and large Heap for large payload
Business Rules - Improved multi-threaded performance
OSB 10x Large Payload, 6.5X Message-level security, 5.5X HTTP transform/route
Note: Above improvements are when comparing OSB running on EL with EL optimizations and IB vs Intel Xeon 5160
2 X Dual Core and 1GbE
Virtual Assembly Builder Templates ease of provisioning (enabled via Cloud Control)

Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software 2.0
SOA testing in progress
Weblogic Server (Web 10X; JMS 5X; Enterprise Java 5X)
JMS Lockless Request Manager
