Parameter

host_options

TypeText String
Value

(warning) This parameter may affect Charon performance. Do not change this parameter until advised by Stromasys.

"host_options" defines options of ACE (DIT) translator and code-generator. Those options affect Charon performance

Default settings are set to optimize performance for most guest OS (VMS and Tru64) usage profiles. However there are some profiles (for example OpenVMS compilation tasks) where the default settings do not provide optimal performance.

The following switches are available to user:

1. --fixed-variant=[X]

The value X can be one of three options: [-1, 0, 1]. This value defines the desired translation variant. Set -1 for dynamic (default) or 0 or 1 for the fixed number implemented by the translator.

2. --x64-optimize or --x64-nooptimize 

This switch enables translation optimizations (the default is to optimize).

(warning) Default parameters had have been changed in Charon version 4.9 compared to previous versions (4.8 and below). If Charon system demonstrates lower performance after upgrade to version 4.9, please test the system with host_options switched to default 4.8 settings:

set ace host_options = "--fixed-variant=0 --x64-nooptimize"

Note that in this case the parameter "num_translators" must be set to the number of I/O CPUs dedicated to CHARON (see the "n_of_io_cpus" parameter). Also note that changing parameter "cache_size" can be an alternative solution too (see the section below).

...

Try this solution first. It is recommended to enlarge the ACE cashe cache size at least in 2 times as it is shown in the following example:
