This section explains how to estimate the size of the memory required for each unit constituting a HiRDB/Parallel Server. The topics covered include:

• Memory allocation
• Calculation of required memory
• Formulas for shared memory used by a unit controller
• Formulas for shared memory used by each server
• Formulas for size of shared memory used by global buffers
• Formulas for size of memory required during SQL execution
• Formula for size of memory required during SQL preprocessing
• Formula for size of memory required during BLOB data retrieval or updating (for front-end servers)
• Formula for size of memory required during block transfer or array FETCH (for front-end servers)
• Formula for size of memory required during BLOB data retrieval or updating (for back-end servers or dictionary servers)
