What happened to resumable instructions?

2008-02-03 Thread Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)
Long ago in a galaxy far away, IBM introduced the concept of resumeable instructions; an interrupt could occur in the middle of the instruction execution and the instruction would continue properly after a normal dispatch. It appears that CLCL and MVCL were not only the first such long instructions
