Hi All,
I have a question about the vpid values. Do they have to start with
zero or one, and do they have to have no gaps in the sequence?
Basically, I'm wondering if I can use any arbitrary integer, as long as
they are unique. If I can, is there a maximum value?
Thanks,

There are no hard rules, but some practical ones. In theory, you can use any
value so long as it is unique. In practice, that can cause problems as several
arrays are sized by the vpid value. So a really big vpid causes the array to be
sized to accommodate at least that many values.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the info! The array sizing could be a problem as the value
I'm thinking about using could potentially be over 100 million. This
value is a unique identifier my system is already generating, I was
considering just using it rather than computing a separate vpid. At
least
