Figure 4-10 Thread-related storage by time<br />

This chart shows that the number of threads varies largely between day and night, with more<br />

and lighter threads during the day. Storage per thread stays more or less constant at 1 MB<br />

each during normal working hours.<br />

Figure 4-11 shows in detail how the memory per thread varies by time of day. Overnight there<br />

are fewer threads but they each have a larger footprint. In general each daytime thread (when<br />

the demand <strong>for</strong> virtual storage is at its highest) has a footprint of about 1 MB.<br />

It is useful to calculate the storage per thread so that thread limits such as CTHREAD can be<br />

properly set. This picture can be further refined using IFCID 217 thread-level data.<br />
