4120.0. "ACMS Member alignment" by TAV02::YOCHAI () Mon Mar 10 1997 09:51

    Hi,
    If I understand correctly, ACMS workspaces are not naturally ailgned on
    Alpha platform.
    The result is that the whole ACMS application (COBOL,DECforms,SQL
    Module) has to be built with no member alignment.
    This should have a performance penalty.
    Is there any plan to support member alignment in ACMS ?

	No, there are no plans to align the data. If we did, we'd lose compatibility between the Alpha and VAX platforms. Bill

	So why don't you add it as a compilation option like Cobol, and DECforms has, So that sites which use only Alpha can use alignment and get the extra performance benefits ? Yochai

	Has anyone seen any tests showing that alignment vs non-alignment has any performance penalties? Bill
