| Why don't the documentation collections contain all manuals in PDF format? |
|
Each CD-ROM collection contains all the libraries that are currently available at the time that collection was produced. Many of the older manuals were never provided in PDF format because their original sources are not enabled to be converted to PDF. Please also see the Softcopy FAQs.

How many processors can I exploit with VSE?
|
|
VSE Turbo Dispatcher supports any numbers of processors, however it is not recommended to use more than 3 processors. To exploit multiple processors, the VSE system must be tuned and the workload must be sufficient.
In general it is better to run on a faster uni-processor system than to run a a slower multi-processor system, even if the sum MIPS are the same.
The number of processors that are exploited by a particular workload can be determined by using the QUERY TD,INTERNAL command. The NP/TOT value is the non-parallel share (NPS):
#CPUs = 0.8 - 0.9 / NPS
Please refer to the performance documents in the documentation section.
