PostgreSQL提供了參數(shù)huge_pages用以使用OS的huge pages，默認(rèn)為try，即可用就用，用不了就不用。使用HUGE PAGE其中一個原因是因?yàn)镠UGE PAGE是常駐內(nèi)存的，不會被交換出去。

In a virtual memory system, the tables store the mappings between virtual addresses and physical addresses. When the system needs to access a virtual memory location, it uses the page tables to translate the virtual address to a physical address. Using huge pages means that the system needs to load fewer such mappings into the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB), which is the cache of page tables on a CPU that speeds up the translation of virtual addresses to physical addresses. Enabling the HugePages feature allows the kernel to use hugetlb entries in the TLB that point to huge pages. The hugetbl entries mean that the TLB entries can cover a larger address space, requiring many fewer entries to map the SGA, and releasing entries that can map other portions of the address space.
With HugePages enabled, the system uses fewer page tables, reducing the overhead for maintaining and accessing them. Huges pages remain pinned in memory and are not replaced, so the kernel swap daemon has no work to do in managing them, and the kernel does not need to perform page table lookups for them. The smaller number of pages reduces the overhead involved in performing memory operations, and also reduces the likelihood of a bottleneck when accessing page tables.

測試
機(jī)器配置為4C，4G內(nèi)存，PG共享緩存設(shè)置為1G。

1.不使用huge_pages，client_min_messages等為默認(rèn)參數(shù)
alter system set huge_pages=try;
alter system set client_min_messages=notice;
alter system set update_process_title=on;
alter system set track_activities=on;

./runSQL.sh  props.pg sqlIndexCreates
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
pg_ctl stop
sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=0
grep -i huge /proc/meminfo

alter system set huge_pages=try;
alter system set client_min_messages=error;
alter system set update_process_title=off;
alter system set track_activities=off;

從上面的測試結(jié)果來說，三者并沒有太大的差異，可以認(rèn)為是擾動引起的變化而已。
