It will depend on what the MUMPS compiler generates. The only ones I know of (fortunately) generate actual C code themselves, so you'd most likely have a fairly easy job in getting it to run on Linux S/390. You mainly need to compile the MUMPS compiler sources themselves on Linux S/390 (and

What you describe is a very common problem with OSes that implement virtual memory. It's typically pretty much OK when your program's data space fits in real memory, but once you run beyond that, performance will most definitely be much worse when your inner loop runs through all the pages. After
