5.19 CPUMODEL (CPU model number)

5.19.1 Function

instruction.

model

5.19.3 Parameter

model

Any valid 4 digit hexadecimal CPU model number. A list of the valid model numbers
can be found in the Hercules Windows GUI file “cpu-types.txt”. The default (“0586”)
is not a mainframe CPU model number, but is related to the underlying PC archi-
tecture.

5.19.4 Examples

Example 1:

Specify a 7490 CPU model.

CPUMODEL 7490

Example 2:

Specify a 3090 CPU model.

CPUMODEL 3090

5.20 CPUPRIO (CPU
thread process priority)

5.20.1 Function

CPUPRIO specifies the priority of the CPU thread. See section

5.82 “Process and Thread Priorities” for
details. Default is a nice value of 15, which means a low priority such that I/O can be scheduled and com-
pleted in favour of CPU cycles. On multi-CPU systems a real CPU can be “dedicated” to Hercules by
giving the CPU-thread a very high dispatching priority (-20).

Caution: CPUPRIO should not have a higher dispatching priority than the TOD clock and timer thread.

nn

5.20.3 Parameter

15

Specifies a CPU thread prority of 15. This is the default

nn

This value specifies the priority for the CPU thread. For details on the priority
values see section

5.82 (“Process and Thread Priorities”). The default is 15.

5.20.4 Examples

Example 1:

Give the CPU-thread a very high dispatching priority of -20.

CPUPRIO -20
