Hi Jim-

   2.1.5.x has the pthreads enhancement which, as I understand, is similiar to a
tcb having multiple rb's in MVS.  AIX uses a round robin dispatching technique
wherein tasks waiting to run in a given priority level get bumped by 1 each time
the task ready queue is preempted.  Thus, eventually, everything gets
dispatched.  I'm running 2.1.0.12 on an R30/4-way with multiple Sybase servers
and have not had any "hog" problems, or for that matter, any noticeable slowdown
in Sybase.

You have my card,
Al Barth

RE:  ADSM for AIX Server

Does the ADSM for AIX Server use multi-tasking?  My concern is the probably
the opposite
of what you are thinking.  I have an RS6000 hi-node with 4 processors.  It
will be running
multiple applications.  If I put an ADSM server on it I am concerned that it
might hog all
the processors.  Do I need to worry about this?
