originally called PCO (personal computing option) ... something for VS1. the name got changed when they pointed out that PCO already referred to something outside the US. In the very early days of VM370/CMS ... there was a whole lot of smoke and churn between PCO & CMS ... PCO group constantly claiming that PCO thruput was much, much better than CMS ... this frequently tied up the (small) CMS development into knots for extended period of time ... doing benchmarks showing CMS numbers for comparable activity (when they should have been doing development). So it eventually comes out that the PCO numbers were being generated by somebody that had written a PCO "model" ... and when PCO was actually operational ... it turned out that the model was predicting something nearly ten times faster than actual measured numbers. misc. past posts mentioning PCO &/or VS/PC http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2000.html#1 Computer of the century http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001f.html#49 any 70's era supercomputers that ran as slow as today's supercompu http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001i.html#30 IBM OS Timeline? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002h.html#51 Why did OSI fail compared with TCP-IP? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002q.html#26 LISTSERV Discussion List For USS Questions? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003k.html#0 VSPC http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004.html#4 TSS/370 source archive now available http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005p.html#38 storage key question http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005q.html#19 HASP/ASP JES/JES2/JES3 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006x.html#8 vmshare -- 42yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
