Description

This parameter specifies when memory is allocated from the system. The following options are available:

  • 0, Once at the beginning.
  • 1, As requested by FMS or your application.

When NUMA technology is not used, FMS allocates MAXMD words of memory when FMSINI is called. Requests by FMS or your application are allocated from this memory pool.

When NUMA technology is used, the memory is allocated from the system on each request by FMS or your application. This provides for a different distribution of memory among the nodes for each memory request.
