VMS Help Sys Parameters, WSINC *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
Decreasing the value of this parameter tends to reduce the speed with which working set limits are increased when the need arises. Normally, you should keep this parameter at a high value because a rapid increase in limit is often critical to performance. On VAX systems, WSINC specifies the number of pages by which the limit of a working set is automatically increased at each adjustment interval (which is quantum end). At a setting of 150, for example, the system increases the limit of a working set by 150 pages each time an increase is required. On VAX systems, the default value is 150 512-byte pages. On Alpha systems, WSINC specifies the number of pagelets by which the limit of a working set is automatically increased at each adjustment interval (which is quantum end). At a setting of 150, for example, the system increases the limit of a working set by 150 pagelets each time an increase is required. On Alpha systems, the default value is 2400 512-byte pagelets (150 8192-byte Alpha pages). A value of 0 for WSINC disables the automatic adjustment of working set limits for all processes. Limits stay at their base values. You can disable the automatic adjustment of working set limits on a per-process basis by using the DCL command SET WORKING_SET. WSINC has the DYNAMIC and MAJOR attributes. On Alpha systems, WSINC also has the AUTOGEN attribute.
