We have two IRIS 3030's and have run into several system limits: o Only 40 IPCS meessages can be present in the system at any time. If more than 40 are sent, all IPCS message send and receive operations will hang. o Only 8K of messages can be present on any combination of IPCS queues at any time or the same symptoms as above appear. o Only 10 semaphores keys can be created o Only 50 actual semaphores can be created So as you can see, these limits can really hamper a multi-task application. We realize that the kernel would have to be modified to change these, but since we don't have the code, this is not an alternative. We were wondering if anybody has devised software to emulate some of these functions using another resource (i.e. using shared memory to simulate message queues) Also, if anybody has the kernel changes reqd., this might be useful to us as we might be able to get the kernel source code. ANY information you can provide would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance, Fredric Loewenstein UNISYS Corporation 12010 Sunrise Valley Dr Reston, VA 22091
