VMS Help Sys Parameters, MPW_WRTCLUSTER *Conan The Librarian |
MPW_WRTCLUSTER sets the number of pages to be written during one
I/O operation from the modified-page list to the page file or
a section file. The actual size of the cluster may be limited
by the number of pages available for the I/O operation. This
parameter can range in value from 16 to 120, in multiples of 8.
Each page in the cluster requires 6 bytes of permanently resident
memory.
If MPW_WRTCLUSTER is too small, it takes many I/O operations
to empty the modified-page list. If MPW_WRTCLUSTER is too large
for the speed of the disk that holds the page file, other I/O
operations are held up for the modified-page list write.
On Alpha and Integrity servers, the MPW_WRTCLUSTER default value
is 64 8192-byte pages; its maximum value is 512 8192-byte pages;
and its minimum value is 16 8192-byte pages.
MPW_WRTCLUSTER has the AUTOGEN and GEN attributes.
