[Opendnssec-user] ods-signerd and job scheduling

[Matthijs Mekking]

Hi Jake,

The signer is able to sign zones concurrently. Each worker in the signer 
is able to work on one zone at the time. You can configure the number of 
workers in conf.xml

     <Signer>
         <WorkerThreads>4</WorkerThreads>
     </Signer>

Default is 4, but you should configure this indeed to better match your 
number of processors, cores per processor, threads per core.

Note there is also something like <SignerThreads>. This is how many 
RRSIGs can be created concurrently. The optimal number depends on your 
HSM. You can use the utility ods-hsmspeed to test the HSM performance.

Best regards,
   Matthijs
