Shmuel, I remember spending some time playing with CPU affinity trying to keep the CPU bound jobs away from the AP Why? [Ron Hawkins] Nice catch. I meant to say IO Bound Jobs. Ron -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff /

Ron, care to remind us of the modelling difference? It's been a while. :-) Ron Hawkins wrote: Would it have been more appropriate if I added that dyadic processors required revision of many of the methods that we applied to earlier models. Would you use a capacity planning methodology

Interesting - especially the CSA bit: The very first problem I worked on in IBM (and I don't think I was much use) :-) in late 1985 was Virtual Storage (a DOS to MVS migration). I was hooked. If I hadn't've been I'd not've ;lasted long in IBM and the world would've been a different place. :-)

Ron, We had the same DUO issue (we had an mp) . One of the sysprogs had to write a program that cleared out DUO Area in low memory(yech). Duo was one of the poorer written utilities (not a good term) that didn#39;t transfer well from Mvt to MVS. Ed
