Power Saving and TM1 Performance

I was given this tip recently by a friend from Applix days.

If you are on Windows 2008 R2 then go into your Power Options via Control Panel and make sure the setting is "High Performance".

Do NOT select "Balanced".

It appears as if the processor scales down 50% when in balanced mode.

TM1 and JMeter

If you dont have LoadRunner available to you, yet you want to stress test your TM1 Application then its worth having a look at Apache JMeter.
JMeter you can download for free and then follow the instructions on IBM DeveloperWorks here:

Cognos TM1 10.2 Multi-threaded Query calculation fix

There looks to be an issue with MTQ in 10.2.
Looks like its best to ensure FP1 is applied then add MTQ.SingleCellConsolidation=false to your cfg
