The Symmetry of Performance: Solving CPU Wait Spikes by Disabling Soft-NUMA
by Michal Kovaľ on 17/02/2026
In high-performance SQL Server environments, how you "slice" your CPU resources is just as important as how many cores you have. We recently tackled a case where a customer was plagued by high SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD and CXPACKET waits.
Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to sponsor SQL Day 2025 in Wrocław, Poland - one of the biggest data community conferences in Central Europe.
We are excited to announce the release of SMT 1.12.0. In this update, we have focused on refining existing features while introducing a new optional capability that could dramatically enhance the way you proactively tune your SQL Server with SMT.
