FAQ on using Transportable Tablespace

Q1: Can I move/migrate to both a different RDBMS version and OS platform at the same time?

Yes; must be 10g or higher to move across OS platforms; charactersets must be the same regardless of version.

See "Limitations on Transportable Use" in Document 371556.1 How to move tablespaces across platforms using Transportable Tablespaces with RMAN


Q2: Do I have to convert the datafiles?

Yes, if the endianness is different.  If the endianness is not different and no undo is in any of the tablespaces being transported, then the convert step is not needed. 

Document 243304.1 10g : Transportable Tablespaces Across Different Platforms confirms the answer.

Q3: Can I use TTS with ASM?

Yes, with RMAN, ASM files can be moved.

See "Transportable tablespace EXP/IMP of ASM files" in Document 371556.1 How to move tablespaces across platforms using Transportable Tablespaces with RMAN


Q4: Can I move raw files?

Yes, with RMAN.

See "Transportable tablespace EXP/IMP of ASM files" in Document 371556.1 How to move tablespaces across platforms using Transportable Tablespaces with RMAN

Q5: Can I transport just a single partition?

Yes.
See Document 731559.1 How to move or transport table partition using Transportable Table Space (TTS)?

Q6: Is there a size limitation?

No, except for a couple of size-related bugs, one which is a potential-corruption bug in < 11g.  Please see note for description and patch information.

What is the benefit of using Quantization in LLM

Quantization is a technique used in LLMs (Large Language Models) to reduce the memory requirements for storing and training the model parameters. It involves reducing the precision of the model weights from 32-bit floating-point numbers (FP32) to lower precision formats, such as 16-bit floating-point numbers (FP16) or 8-bit integers (INT8). Bottomline: You can use Quantization to reduce the memory footprint off the model during the training. The usage of quantization in LLMs offers several benefits: Memory Reduction: By reducing the precision of the model weights, quantization significantly reduces the memory footprint required to store the parameters. This is particularly important for LLMs, which can have billions or even trillions of parameters. Quantization allows these models to fit within the memory constraints of GPUs or other hardware accelerators. Training Efficiency: Quantization can also improve the training efficiency of LLMs. Lower precision formats require fewer computati...
