Just some thoughts on this. From what I understand, a hipersocket is really a way to "move" data from one memory location in one LPAR to another memory location on another LPAR in the same CEC. Now, is that "move" done by a CP? Or is it done by the SAP? If it is done by a CP, then it is "knee-capped" if the CP is "knee-capped". If it is done by a SAP, then it is not. I would hope that it is actually done by a SAP. But that would mean that the speed could be influenced by how busy the SAP is doing other things. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
