"Inline data is no more expensive than data in another page. In either case, the reference to the data requires a cache line load to the D-cache, but does not invalidate/disturb the I-cache"
Is that also now true for the target of an execute perchance? We went through a whole exercise to get rid of all the EX *+8 J *+?? <target of execute> in the code a few years back in the name of efficiency We needed to do it after the way pipelining was handled changed between machines - it made a huge difference to performance inside a very very active chunk of code. It was enough to affect the entire machine throughput. If I was mildly less demented I'd recall the machine versions (I'm sorta thinking going from a Z9 to a Z11) but it was a few years back. If it's not necessary we can go back to being able to see what you meant to do without scrolling. I haven't looked at MF architecture in a couple of years so I'm a bit behind the times in this area.
