Installation Task Overview
include: Silicon Secured Memory – These APIs can be used, for example, to enable the
detection of memory corruption issues, thereby enhancing applications data integrity (ADI)
when an application uses its own custom memory allocator. With this feature enabled, an
error is likely to be raised if an application tries to access memory to which it should not have
access. For more information, refer to the adi(3C), adi(2), memcntl(2), mmap(2), and siginfo
(3HEAD) man pages.
Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX) – Coprocessors perform query-related operations directly
through the hardware, which improves Oracle Database performance. You can use DAX
hardware acceleration for Oracle Database 12c in-memory database operations. For more
information about Oracle Software in Silicon functionality, refer to: https://www.oracle.
com/servers/sparc/software-in-silicon.html. For more details on ADI, refer to the Oracle
Solaris 11.3 documentation. To use DAX, you must configure the Oracle Database 12c in-
memory feature. For instructions, refer to “Using the In-Memory Column Store” at: http://
docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMIN/memory.htm#ADMIN14257
