Multithreading—On UNIX platforms that support thread programming, you can change default mbatchd behavior to use multithreading and increase performance of query requests when you use the bjobs command. Multithreading is beneficial for busy clusters with many jobs and frequent query requests. This may indirectly increase overall mbatchd performance.
Hard CPU affinity—You can specify the master host CPUs on which mbatchd child query processes can run. This improves mbatchd scheduling and dispatch performance by binding query processes to specific CPUs so that higher priority mbatchd processes can run more efficiently.
