SAP Kernel 7.21 ext, improves SAP system performance upto 20%

With every SAP kernel upgrade, SAP tries to improve with standard compiler functionality which optimizes executable s and libraries based on static code analysis. But in recent times SAP tries to include some features called Performance Guided Optimization (PGO), so that each SAP kernel upgrade improves performance of customers SAP system as well. This PGO technology basically works in windows environment.

Customer can expect upto 20% performance gain with this PGO technology. This technology shows its benefits in quires where CPU is used more.

SAP start to deliver this PGO technology with the 721 EXT 64 bit Unicode kernel (at least patch level 100).

The 721 EXT kernel is a fully downward compatible kernel and can be used instead of the 700, 710, 701, 711 and 720 kernel, including the EXT versions.


Because of the below mentioned features in kernel 721 ext version we have performance gain in AIX, Windows environment .
•    Improved performance on IBM AIX due to new optimization technology in build process
•    More efficient implementation of TCP/IP communication on AIX (pollset vs. poll) with improved performance and better scalability
•    Performance Guided Technology in the build process on Windows

In short, this SAP Kernel version have so many features which particularly boost up your OS environment, and which by default increase the performance of your application(SAP).

So if you are in windows environment and in less kernel patch level, upgrade to 721 EXT and enjoy the performance gain :)
