Mornin' All -- This thread brings up a question that has been knocking around in my head for a couple of months -- Is there a benchmarking facility for IBM Assembler code? This is the kind of question that gets answered in the Unix world by writing a snippet of code and running it a few thousand times (to let the CPU caches settle down) and taking numbers. I can't seem to find anything equivalent for the MVS world. A Google Search on 'MVS+Benchmark' turns up lots of Vendor 'benchmarks' of their code running on various releases of MVS and zOS, but nothing that allows me to time arbitrary code. I really have lacing my code with time() calls.....
