Even if performance is an issue, I would suggest using REXX but specifically making use of CMS Pipelines, which is very efficient, before resorting to assembler language. Fond as I am of assembler, it's not the highest level of abstraction available, and Pipelines provides both productivity and performance. The former will be important, especially with the complexity previously referred to. The latter, performance, should be fine: I drove sockets through Pipelines in my previous job, processing real-time stock market data, and it was fine even at very high message rates. Obviously, this was something I did at a previous employer :-)
(hi all - long time between posts, but I saw this and immediately thought 'this should be a pipe!') cheers, Jeff. > Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 14:25:13 -0600 > From: Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: VM, assembler and SOCKETS > > If performance is an issue, please take a good look at using the RSK. > Most of the really hard stuff is already done for you, plus it is multi > threading and Assembler-based. > > I do have an example bit of code here I can share that shows how an > assembler program can invoked the RXSOCKET module to do socket > programming; no Rexx involved! > > DJ > -- Jeff Savit, Sun Microsystems OS Ambassador Tel: 732/537-3451
