The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Not magical., but they did have a (patented) garbage collector that didn't use the 'stop the world' algorithm, which was unique.
They seem to be moving away from that to a common code base across the 'Power' line.

Subject: RE: starting collection, reason stop the world collection
You'd have to ask the right people at IBM about the details,
but the claim is that it's unique among garbage collectors.
Ah yes, the ever-present System-i "trust us, we're unique" answer. Well,
I don't care enough to go track down the IBM people, and to be honest, I
don't think they could/would answer the question anyway. The i is a nice
piece of engineering, but at the end of the day it's still a computer,
it still has memory, disk, registers, cores, processing units, etc.
There's nothing magical that can occur on the i.
