180.0. "calibration check..." by COOKIE::KITTELL (Richard - Architected Info Mgmt) Tue Jul 10 1990 19:59

  T1.0.1 VMS T5.4 8250

  I'm trying out the framework, and I'm at the point (page 11-5 of MM
  Programming) of building YOURMM. The MSL compiles, the info gets DAPped,
  and then the PTB runs for hours. Hours. Admittedly, 8250 is no MIPs
  monster, but that's our home for non-SSB stuff.

  I don't actually know how long it takes yet, but it has been running for
  two hours and is at 

    Processing entity 12

  Is this expected performance, or is my environment suspect? I re-defined
  MCC_SYSTEM and made local copies of the dictionary, the dispatch table,
  and the parse table BPT file.

  Thanks.

	The good news is you're near the end.

	Yes, this sounds about right to me.  And if you install 'layered'
	MMs (like TCP/IP, FDA, etc) that install separately, they run PTB too.

	Having fun yet?

   Thanks for the sanity check, always easier to live with such things
   once one knows one isn't alone.

   Actually, I AM having fun, I'm just getting impatient to move on.

    Jack up your VMS working set parameters if you can.  I've seen a whole
    PTB run in 45 mins on a (timeshared) 8550 with 12000 pages
    wsextent/quota.

    The other thing to note is that there are instructions in the Guide
    for how to build your own dictionary. These will let you produce
    a smaller more acceptable dictionary (for running PTB that is).
    If you are simply at the stage of checking your MSL out and verifying
    that your commands work, you might want to consider building a smaller
    dictionary with just the FCL PM, Control FM, Common, and your module.
    This will make the MSL/command line debug go a lot quicker.
    
    
180.5The speed of the CPU helps tooWAKEME::ROBERTSKeith Roberts LKG2-2/N1Thu Sep 13 1990 11:216
   I believe an 8250 is between 1 & 2 VUPS

   The 8550 is around 6 VUPS .. no doubt that helped PTB run in only 45 minutes
