 Agenda
 What is a 64 bit memory object?
 What are the Grande Dynamic Storage Areas used for?
 What are the Storage Manager end of day statistics
telling me?
 But first a brief digression!
2
How much above the bar storage do my
CICS systems really need?

A walk down memory object lane
 In the late 80’s I climbed
Mount Fuji
 Japan's highest and most
prominent mountain
(3776M)

A walk down memory object lane
 I had my Fuji Stick stamped
at the various hill stations
on the ascent
 Champagne at the bar at
hill stop 9, with a final push
in the early hours to watch
the sunrise over Japan

A walk down memory object lane
 Preoccupation in the 80’s :
VSCR - moving “stuff” from
24-bit to 31-bit storage
 Addressing changes from
S/370 to XA increased
address space size 128
times

Stretching the analogy
 Preoccupation today : VSCR -
moving “stuff” from below the bar
to above the bar
 A 64-bit address space, is 16
exabytes in size; an exabyte is
slightly more than one billion
gigabytes

Space …
 Below the bar VSCR
 More 31 bit storage for CICS V5.*
 Traditional CICS can support a
larger number of concurrent
users and concurrent
transactions in fewer address
spaces
 Above the bar
 New applications can exploit 64
-bit storage
 CICS can support 64-bit Java

High Virtual
 High User Region located between the
end of the shared area and 16 Exabytes
 Shared Area located between the
2Tb-1Eb location (default 512 Tb)
 Common Area located between the
1Tb-2Tb location (default 64 +2 Gb)
 Low user region area located between
288 GB and the Common Area)
 Local System Area located between
32GB and 288GB
 2G to 32GB reserved for java

You’ve got to have a Giga or two!
 While there is no
practical limit to the
virtual storage above
the bar…
 practical limits exist to
the real storage
frames and auxiliary
storage slots that back
the area

 If you attempt to start a CICS region with
MEMLIMIT value that is less than 6 GB
+DFHSM0602 DACMASJ Insufficient storage
to allocate the minimum above the bar
memory object.

Memory objects
 Virtual memory above 2GB is organized
as memory objects
 A memory object is a contiguous range
of virtual addresses
 Allocated as a number 1MB multiples on
a 1MB boundary or 2G multiples on a
2G boundary
 May be designated as private (user or
local), common or shared when created
 Some of the memory is usable virtual
storage - unguarded
 Optionally a guard area may be created
 The guard area can be located at the
high or low end of the memory object
 A later request can change the guard
area into a usable area

MEMLIMIT - Limiting the use of
private memory objects
The following categories of storage do
not count against the MEMLIMIT:
  The guard area in a memory object
  The storage created by IARV64
GETSTOR with
LOCALSYSAREA=YES
  Memory objects defined with
MEMLIMIT=NO do not count
against the address space

Common memory objects
  Memory objects created in 64-bit
common virtual storage are
visible at the same virtual address
in every address space in the
system and are accessible by
every address space in the
system
Shared memory objects
  There is no automatic
addressability or access
  To get access to the shared
memory object requires IARV64
REQUEST=SHAREMEMOBJ

IARST64: Small cell pool management
  The cell size can be anywhere
between 1 and 128K bytes. The
size is rounded up to a power of 2
  Cell sizes are 64, 128, 256, 512,
1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16,384,
32,768, 65,536 and 131,072 bytes
IARCP64: Larger cell pool management
  With cellsize up to 520,192 bytes
  EXPAND=YES Indicates that should
an attempt to expand the pool be
made, successful expansion results
in a 1 MB increase in the pool size
