 Multiprocessor Configuration 

To allow multiprocessor configurations to be used to the best advantage, the database system supports a configurable external/internal tasking. The aim here is to allow the maximum possible number of database sessions to be supported by the minimum possible number of operating system threads.

The configuration of the database system controls the degree of external/internal tasking using the two general database parameters MAXUSERTASKS and MAXCPU.

A computer has four processors available for the database instance. You want no more than 800 database sessions to run simultaneously.

You set MAXCPU to four, and MAXUSERTASKS to 800.
