Re: VM/370 Hercules Optimisation
Was Adrian thinking that a page fault* would be the cause of the I/O? Presumably if one accesses an address from within CMS that is not, at that moment, mapped to real memory it is CP, not CMS, that

Re: VM/370 Hercules Optimisation
Joe, Not really much to do with IO. Hercules implements these as was mentioned earlier. Shadow Table Bypass is only relevant when running a guest OS that use virtual memory. CMS only runs with DAT off

Re: VM/370 Hercules Optimisation
Adrian For CMS its pretty much the same!. That¡¯s the who benefit of channels. You send the SIOs to the channel and the channel and controllers work out what to do. Dave Sent: 30 January 2020 15:38

Re: VM/370 Hercules Optimisation

Re: VM/370 Hercules Optimisation
2305 was nice because of no seek time. In an Hercules emulated environment, probably doesn't make a difference. I was on the periphery of a 360/75 MVT -> 4341 MVT under VM transition (I got to do some
