VMS Help Sys Parameters, DORMANTWAIT *Conan The Librarian |
DORMANTWAIT specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that can
elapse without a significant event before the system treats
a low-priority computable process as a DORMANT process for
scheduling purposes. (A low-priority process is a non real-time
process whose current priority is equal to or less than the value
specified by the system parameter DEFPRI [default=4].) After
SUSP (suspended) processes, DORMANT processes are the most likely
candidates for memory reclamation by the swapper.
Increasing the value of DORMANTWAIT can increase the interval
that a low priority process blocks a high priority process if
that low priority process is holding a lock or resource that the
higher priority process is waiting for.
DORMANTWAIT is a DYNAMIC parameter.
