Does Oracle TimesTen have any special hardware and software requirements?
TimesTen was built with the assumption that all the data being managed resides in physical memory (RAM). As a result, the most important thing to consider regarding hardware is to have sufficient RAM available. Aside from that, TimesTen has very few hardware considerations. As with any application, having an appropriate number of CPUs (running at appropriate clock speeds) is important for your application to run as fast as possible. Similarly, to take advantage of multiple CPUs, you need to either run multiple applications, or you should write your applications to use multiple threads.Additionally, the transaction logs and checkpoint files are persisted on disk, faster disks yield better overall performance.
