      <title>Performance Queries</title>
      <link>https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Performance-Queries/m-p/561871#M1269663</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi there,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm assessing how much to scale my hardware by using a small deployment as a benchmark. I read from "DS-Technical-Brief-QlikView-Architecture-and-System-Resource-Usage-EN.pdf" and "BI-WP-QlikView-Scalability-Overview-EN.pdf" that performance is linearly proportional to a combination of RAM and CPU capacity.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have some doubts and would appreciate if someone could explain to me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Currently, my small deployment is about &lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;10MB&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; and it takes &lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;22 sec&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; for server to refresh data. Aggregation of data or selection is instantaneous. My objective is to find out what the performance is like if I increase the source data (and thus QVWsize?).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Assuming the worst case that I have:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;QVWsize = 500MB&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;No. of concurrent users = 25&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;FileSizeMultipler = I am going to use 10 here since pdf states it's ranging from 2-10.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question 1: In fact, how do I decide what multiplier to use?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;userRAMratio = I use 10%&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Going by the formula as attached, the RAM i require will be 17.5GB.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question 2: As long as I have much more than 17.5GB in my server, the memory should be sufficient to achieve the same performance of 22secs right?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG __jive_id="46118" alt="formula.png" class="jive-image" src="https://community.qlik.com/legacyfs/online/46118_formula.png" style="width: 620px; height: 249px;" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) I have not gotten to this step. But I know I need to measure the CPU utilization of my small deployment.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question 3:After which, I will need to scale by (500MB/10MB) to calculate the CPU required in my production setup in order to keep the same performance as my small deployment?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4) I saw this figure in your document:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG __jive_id="46119" alt="resp.png" class="jive-image" src="https://community.qlik.com/legacyfs/online/46119_resp.png" style="width: 620px; height: 411px;" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question 4a: I assume sessions is equivalent to number of open QVW file?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question 4b:What is selection per session and how do I measure it?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question 4c: This response time is referring to when users choose a new selection or when the server is refreshing data?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know I am asking a lot of questions here. Hopefully someone will be kind enough to explain the above.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Steve&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
