1 Overview
TEMS Discovery Enterprise is a multithreaded data analysis and network optimization tool. TEMS Discovery Enterprise uses multiple threads in background to process log files and user can select the number of threads to use from the TEMS Discovery configuration options windows (see section 2). The processing capacity and the hardware requirement depend on the number of threads configured to process measurement data. Each thread usually runs on one core of the CPU. For a hyper threaded CPU one thread runs on a hyper thread.
There are two modes of TEMS Discovery Enterprise, File Mode and Database Mode. TEMS Discovery Enterprise File Mode keeps its data storage in Windows file system, while Database mode keeps uses Microsoft SQL Server databases for that purpose.
TEMS Discovery Enterprise Database Mode needs additional processing resources and time to convert and insert data into Microsoft SQL Server databases. In general, SQL Server requires 25%-40% additional CPU processing time if SQL Server instance and TEMS Discovery Enterprise reside in same machine. For better performance it is advised to use a dedicated SQL Server machine.
