-->MVS OS/390 z/OS places a value in the CPU timer before invoking a task. -->The task will either decide to wait on its own (to satisfy a page fault, for I/O, etc.) or will keep running until it uses up the quantum of time.
hey,will you explained more details for us. Where does "a value" came from??Maybe the dispatcher will dynamically adjust the value,but there must be a initial value that zOS places in the CPU timer before dispatch the task. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
