PROIV Genfile Caching Benefits
Genfile Caching will only benefit situations where chains of functions or Global functions are used repeatedly in tight business logic processing, or when there are a large number of users. Typical interactive user operation will see no tangible benefit due to the human element, even though under the covers, caching is taking place.
Analysis has shown that the caching works best in situations where the run time of the function being cached is reasonably small, and the load time of the function specs is a significant proportion of the overall function execution time.
The following diagram explains further:
Isec and Csec are extremely small and not a factor in function execution.
The lifetime of a function depends on two factors:
-
Lsec (function load time)
-
Esec (function execution time)
Consequently, the impact of Genfile Caching can be defined as:
This should be considered when selecting potential targets for this product option.
