Um, not your average "PC" program then. Like I said, I can see the use in servers, and that's a server! OOC, is it used for testing/development, or is it meant to allow you to run mainframe applications on PC hardware in production? -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

IBM mainframe emulator. It will happily use every processor you can throw at it. It can emulate multiprocessor systems, and each emulated processor is a thread...and there are three overhead threads for different kinds of maintenance tasks...and it will use multiple threads for overlapped I/O. (By default, it keeps an unused I/O thread around for 5 minutes to handle more requests, but it can be configured to launch a new thread for every I/O). I've run it on an 8-way Proliant 8500 before and kept all 8 CPUs busy. -- This is the Non-Technical Discussion about the AS400 / iSeries (Midrange-NonTech) mailing list To post a message email: Midrange-NonTech@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-nontech or email: Midrange-NonTech-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-nontech.
