Splitting load example

The diagram below illustrates overlapping operations adjacent to an operation defined with a split size.



  • The processing at operations 10 and 20 proceeds the same as with the previous overlapping operations example. Note that the SPLITSIZE parameter is defined in operation 20; the Scheduler ignores it because the operation is overlapped.
  • When the load arrives at operation 30, the Scheduler splits the load into two loads of 20 items according to the SPLITSIZE setting. The two resources in operation 30 each process one load simultaneously.
  • After operation 30 completes both loads, the Scheduler accumulates them back into one load of 40 items. The load proceeds to operation 40 (see the previous overlapping operations example for description).
Note: The Scheduler ignores load splitting when it is defined within a series of overlapped operations.
