Hi Aldo, Thx much for the input. Unfortunately I cannot for that project to implement Baseless processing therefore I cannot use EXRL instruction. Point is to keep the target of the execute is in a I-bank cache line, to be ok. regards Philippe

Hi, My understanding is, we should keep as closest as possible, the EXECUTE instruction and its target instruction...EXECUTE instruction being greedy enough in term of CPU use...to be clear dozens of Cycles needed to complete its execution. Reviewing old Assembler programs, I guess I am

Hi, As you may know, there is some kind of performance issue because of SIIS(Store Into Instruction Stream) after upgrade to a z13 machine in some scenarios. CPU increase of 30% can be seen in some case, so it may be good to perform to related changes to avoid issue from reoccuring. Did start
