**WARNING: Oracle support is unmaintained as of sysbench 1.0. You may want to try sysbench 0.5 instead. The corresponding code and instructions below are still in the source tree in case somebody wants to update them. Patches are always welcome! **

Oracle Build steps

Using Ubuntu 14.04 - intructions dated for 21/09/2016 (Was built on AWS in an r3.xlarge These actions were done against 0.5 checkout)

• Setup Oracle Instant Client - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle%20Instant%20Client download from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html.

The following RPM's and upload them to the server: - oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm - oracle-instantclient12.1-devel-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

alien -i oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
alien -i oracle-instantclient12.1-devel-12.1.0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

• Install Cuda - http://www.r-tutor.com/gpu-computing/cuda-installation/cuda7.5-ubuntu

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.5-18_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.5-18_amd64.deb 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuda
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-7.5 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64 

PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
export PATH
echo "/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-client-12.1.conf
ldconfig

• Build sysbench Use the following configure option to build with Oracle support:

./configure --with-oracle="/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64"

Run the following commands to allow sysbench use the full number of cores:

sudo sh -c 'for x in /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-*; do echo ffffffff> $x/rps_cpus; done'
sudo sh -c "echo 32768 > /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries"
sudo sh -c "echo 4096 > /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_flow_cnt"
