11
AAR Accomplishments v1.0 to v2.0

• Performance enhancements to support 15k and 32k
  entity exercises
• Managed queries (views) are created when the
  database is created, reducing report build time.
• Replay Query performance enhancements reduced
  load time by 90.
• .NET Framework upgrade increased data collection
  by 19.
• PostgreSQL upgrade increased data processing by
  20.
• Replay upgrade provide a Unit level capability.

12
AAR Accomplishments v1.0 to v2.0

• Ability to optionally replay from snapshot data.
• Enables replay to scale to exercises with large
  entity counts and\or long execution times.
• Replay is conducted at the rate of one snapshot
  each second.
• The snapshot interval set when the data was
  collected establishes the rate.
