Yes, I use MVCL, TRT, CLCL and the rest of the millicoded instructions, I just use them where appropriate.
The irony here is that IBM uses sampling of real workloads to determine which instructions are used most. That knowledge helps them decide which instructions should be given preferential performance treatment and which should not. So, if an instruction isn't often used because it's slow, it will never get any faster... -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 [email protected] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/
