When a critical application slows to a crawl and CPU spikes to 100%, throwing expensive hardware at the problem is just a temporary band-aid. True scalability requires knowing exactly how SQL Server interacts with the underlying silicon.
Join us for the next installment of our High-Performance DBA series:
Ep 4: Beyond the Bottleneck: Mastering High-Performance CPU Optimization
Date: June 10 | Time: 10 A.M. CT
Following our previous series episodes on burnout, storage, and memory, this technical deep-dive reveals how tasks are scheduled, how worker threads are managed, and how bottlenecks are broken.
What we'll cover:
- Platform Efficiency: How underlying operating system differences change how your CPU is utilized.
- Thread & Task Management: How the database engine handles scheduling and avoids thread starvation.
- Throughput Control: Scoping features that protect your processing power and prevent system crashes.
- The Troubleshooting Toolkit: The essential diagnostic metrics and DMVs needed to fix CPU pressure fast.
