Each unit in
table_open_cacheis one table (not one byte). Since you have a huge amount of RAM, the 'right' answer is probably to make it a little more than the number of tables in all the databases.It is limited to
open_files_limit, which, in turn, is limited by the OS. Some OSs have an artificially low 1024, but it can be changed.Suggest
table_open_cache_instances = 16if your version includes that relatively new feature.If you would like a lengthier check, please provide
SHOW VARIABLES;andSHOW GLOBAL STATUS;after mysqld has been running for more than a day, and preferably with a realistic load.A common mistake is setting
query_cache_sizebigger than about 50M. The code in the QC was not designed to scale. Anyway, most production servers run better with the QC turned off.The buffer_pool is the main cache in RAM. There are a number of lesser ones. Is this what you mean by "memory cache"?
Will this server be running anything other than MySQL? If so, you should subtract that from the 672G when posing the question.
