doubt regarding how Oracle manage memory for AMM / ASMM

2834008Mar 30 2016 — edited Mar 30 2016

Hi Gurus ,

I have some doubt regarding how Oracle manage memory for AMM / ASMM

if we use AMM oracle use memory-mapped files located in /dev/shm - why this intermediate files required for AMM ? why oracle can't manage buffer/cache from physical RAM itself ?

if we have a total of  100 GB AMM assigned for 10 databases , do we require 100 GB for /dev/shm  ??

Second,

if we are using huge page we can't use AMM  right ? - Here instead of /dev/shm we use large page for handling physical memory segments right ?

so same question here too .

if we have a total of  100 GB ASMM assigned for 10 databases , do we require 100 GB Hugepages ?

Again - what is the advantage by keeping a intermediate virtual memory to handle actual physical memory ?

I am totally confused here.

Thanks for any advise

Regards

Mahi
