with the timer patch applied, the cpu overhead is almost 0. Here we give each project one or more linux. They do whatever they like with it, in fact we give them root authority. They really like this freedom and if they screw something up, it's their fault.

I can then control the "evil" ones by changing their VM dispatching priority. My only concern is the extra overhead of running multiple Linux images just for that purpose. I.e. the VM overhead for multiple users and the extra CPU burnt by the Linux images themselves that would otherwise be "shared" (is that 100Mhz timer pop still a problem with Linux/390 & zLinux?) -----Original Message----- From: Herve Bonvin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 8:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE : "batch" compiles one thing you can do it giving multiple linux to your developers. eventually you could give each developer a linux. VM will then distribute the priorities according to the share settings. this is a new approach far different from MVS regards, Herve
