Launcher-II
Overview
Launcher-II is a new product, performing load balancing on Tandem systems.
It is easy to install, and it works with a good accuracy when searching for the 'least busy CPU' to be used for a new process.
The following features are supported on a program file and process name basis:
- wildcard support for program file and process names
- the attribute check order is configurable (program file first, process name first)
- three check modes are available(never, take supplied CPU, always)
- a CPU mask, defining those CPUs, available for the process in question, is supported
- five optimization methods are available
- priority borders (min, max) direct ?heavy load programs, such as PAK, or compilers, directly to a low priority without a user interaction
- processes may automatically get a name (normal, short, long)
The list above is executed according to the MCO (most complete) values: Fully qualified file names are searched first, file names with wildcards are searched last.
LAUNCHER-II is small, and very efficient.
