摘要:
A Branch in Subspace Group (BSG) instruction is executed in problem state (for example by an application program) for providing a fast instruction branch between address spaces within a restricted group of address spaces called a subspace group. The subspace group contains two types of address spaces: a base space and any number of subspaces. The subspace group is set up in a control table associated with each dispatchable unit (DU). This DU control table contains: an identifier of a base space, an identifier of an access list that contains identifiers of all subspaces in the subspace group, an indicator of whether CPU control was last given to a subspace or to the base space, and an identifier of a last entered subspace in the group. The BSG instruction has an operand defining a general register containing the target virtual address and an associated access register containing an access-list-entry token (ALET) defining the target address space. The ALET indexes to a target subspace identifier in the access list, and then the associated virtual address locates the target instruction in the identified target address space. BSG instruction execution controls restrict the BSG branching only to an instruction in the subspace group.

An application, executing on a first processing element in a MP system without an asymmetric feature, issues an instruction requiring that feature to complete. A program check interruption gives control to interrupt handlers, which create a high-priority, non-preemptable work unit control block and enters the dispatcher to enqueue the work unit on a processor-related queue associated with a second processing element having the asymmetric feature. When the dispatcher executes in the second processing element, it executes the non-preemptable work unit, which transfers control to the application at the point of interruption. Subsequently the application has only whatever processor affinity obtained prior to the program check.

A method and system for providing a PROGRAM CALL to a dispatchable unit's base space is described herein. A program call to a dispatchable unit's (PC to DU) base space bit is added to each entry-table entry in order to determine whether a PROGRAM CALL to a base space is to be made. Should the bit indicate that a PROGRAM CALL to a dispatchable unit's base space is to be made, then in one embodiment, the base address space number-second-table entry origin (BASTEO) and base address space number (BASN) stored in the dispatchable unit control table (DUCT) are used in identifying the base space and accessing associated control information for the identified base space. In another embodiment, the BASN stored in the DUCT is used in ASN translation to identify the base space and access the associated control information for the base space.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing context-based dynamic policy assignment in a distributed processing environment. The system includes a first resource management host in communication with a client system, an application executable by the first resource management host, a dynamic policy assignment system executing on the first resource management host, policies stored on the first resource management host and an application profile associated with the client system. The application profile is received by the first resource management host. Application hosting services include executing the application on behalf of the client system. The dynamic policy assignment system receives the request, and based upon a task name associated with the application profile, selects at least one policy for an application instance. The dynamic policy assignment system further associates the policy to the application, and the host system executes the application.

A Structured External Storage (SES) Facility is coupled to one or more Central Electronic Complex (CEC) Processors, each linked to each other in a System Processing Complex (Sysplex). Applications within a CEC communicate with the SES via messages over a communication means. The SES comprises one or more List Structures, each structure comprising one or more Lists, each List comprising a list control and none or more List Entries. List Entries may be keyed or unkeyed, have a List Entry Identifiers (LEID), created within the SES, and unique within a particular List Structure. List Entries may also have a unique (within a List Structure) Name, created and managed by the application. A plurality of List commands are provided for creating, locating, moving and deleting List Entries--with location reference possible by LEID, Name, Key, Location within List, or a combination of Key and Location within Key. Name and LEID are preserved between moves, while Key may or may not be changed, and will be used to determine relative location.

Extending a plurality of manageability capabilities of manageable information technology (IT) resources utilize an “aspect of” association for describing a relationship between a first object representing a manageable resource playing a role of a subject and one or more additional objects each playing a role of an aspect. The “aspect of” association establishes an overall manageability function for the first object representing a manageable resource and the one or more additional objects as a logical composition of a plurality of manageability capabilities. The manageability capabilities are provided using distinct implementation classes for supporting a specific role, and for supporting management-discipline related aspects and behaviors needed by each of a plurality of resource management applications for managing the manageable resource. The one or more additional objects have an aspect life cycle that is bounded maximally by a subject lifecycle of the first manageable resource.
