We do that with our products as well, but what we found recently is that it won't keep some other vendor (or authorized task) from writing over your area. You're safe from most everything else. Brian -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe

Re: CPU time and zIIP

2019-03-03 Thread Joel C. Ewing
Back in June 2018 there was discussion on this list that indicated that the forward progress on a subcapacity processor is suspended sufficiently often for a small time interval  (4 µsec?) to degrade the average SU capacity of the processor to the licensed value.  It would seem logical to assume

Once you created the name tokennpair you cant modify it. So first get the storage. Now that you have the address create a name token while pointig to a 16 bytes area you stored the address . This is what we do in IronSphere at Ipl using a subsystem. Later callers can acesys the global block of

Storage Question

2019-03-03 Thread scott Ford
All: I have a storage related question. I need a running program (STC) to allocate a piece of storage that has persistence. By this I mean when the STC shutdowns the storage is still there and available. The storage is an area we want to use to store Global options for some of our code running.

Just to make sure I myself haven't caused any confusion, as previously stated, irrespective of the type of processor i.e SAP, CP, ICF, IFL, zIIP (and systems which had zAAP) the 'speed/cycle time' of ALL the different processor types is always the SAME (this includes sub-capacity CPs). Only

ZIIP and ZAAP processors always run at full speed, even when running on a sub-capacity box. One thing, among many, I don't know is how IBM implements sub-capacity. Slow the clock speed? Skip cycles? Chris Blaicher Technical Architect Syncsort, Inc. -Original Message- From: IBM

One regular misconception about (cycle time), irrespective of the type of processor the 'speed/cycle time' of ALL the processors is the SAME. CPs with CAPACITY setting of 7xx (Zxx in case of the 'BC' class system) are FULL capacity. Others are sub-capacity. So if the workload system hasn't
