Re: Starting jobs to read from a data queue

["James W. Kilgore" <eMail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Booth,

Would it work for you to create a special jobq and submit the 14 jobs to
run concurrently?

Since you mention data queues, there is a way to speed up processing
depending on the mix of data file reads and amount of calculations.

Basically, you have your primary program wait on a data queue for a go
code, each cycle.  You start another program, in a separate memory pool,
which performs the same I/O but without the calcs.  This second program
issues the go code and skips the first set of records.  What happens is
that the prefetch program brings into cache the data needed by the
primary program.  This allows for an overlapping of the I/O while the
primary program is doing calcs.
