  • Publication number: 20130173880
    Abstract: Dedicated large page memory pools are provided to, at least in part, facilitate access to large pages. The large page memory is managed by: establishing multiple large page memory pools, each large page memory pool of the multiple large page memory pools including a number of large pages; and dedicating each large page memory pool of the multiple large page memory pools to a respective processor of multiple processors of the computing environment, wherein processors of the multiple processors can concurrently access pages from the respective large page memory pools of the multiple large page memory pools.

  • Publication number: 20120284483
    Abstract: Allocation of pages of memory is managed in computing environments that include multiple sized memory pools. Responsive to a request for a page of memory, one or more memory pools are searched for an available frame of memory to service the request. The search uses a predefined order of search, which includes multiple types of memory pools in a specific order based on the requested size of the page of memory.

  • Publication number: 20120284479
    Abstract: Large page memory pools are managed. Thresholds are used to determine if the number of pages in a large page memory pool is to be adjusted. If the number of pages is to be increased, a particular technique is provided for adding additional pages to the pool. Further, if there are too many pages in the pool, one or more pages may be removed.

  • Patent number: 6915455
    Abstract: Test tool logic and testing methods are provided for facilitating testing a duplexed computer function, such as a duplexed coupling facility. The test tool allows a testcase written for a first environment to be automatically driven in a second environment, thereby facilitating testing of a function of the second environment. Other aspects include logic for intercepting a system event by a test tool to facilitate testing of system-managed event processing, and for adjusting a display characteristic of one or more messages to be displayed by the test tool based on message type. Further, logic for propagating an environmental error indication and for facilitating processing a wait state are also provided, as are several new test tool verbs and macros.
