: A question about CPU usage on z/OS Every address space has multiple TCB. Only TCBs that are not in a wait (dispatchable) are eligible to run on separate CPUs. You are correct but all TCBs in a wait are not eligible to run. On Friday, July 14, 2023 at 05:56:58 PM PDT, Brian Westerman wrote

While each cpu in the 504 is slower than a 701 cpu, running 4 batch jobs at the same time should reduce run time because each batch job expect reduced wait because there is reduced competition for the CPU. However, you could be correct if the 4 batch jobs are experiencing heavy I/O wait.

CPU Affinity has not been supported for many years. I don't remember if it ever was on an address-space basis as opposed to begin on a work-unit basis (I know that you could identify CPU affinity for a scheduled SRB, for example). The "multiprocessor effect" (or perhaps it's the

Dear all, I have a question about CPU usage on z/OS that I hope you can help me with. Many years ago, we increased the CPU of a mainframe from one to four, but the batch jobs at night became slower. The explanation at that time was that a batch job could only use one CPU, and the single CPU
