Adjusting CALCLOCKBLOCK and data cache

Question

if my block size is 37464 then what should my CALCLOCKBLOCK size in the cfg.file be
Per doc (Max=half of the number of block that can fit in to the data cache)
and my data cache is 3072 kb
what is the best setting for the data cache and the CALCLOCKBLOCK
or should i just use a Data memory loclking
and if i do use the the data cache lock what would be the CALCLOCK BLOCK Setting
this is how is set it up in my cfg.file
//Set Calc Lock Block, How many block can be locked at one time
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 5000
CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 2000
CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 500
Please advise

Answer 1

FWIW, I have never, and I mean never touched CALCLOCKBLOCK. I can see why one might want to fiddle with it, but in 18 years (yikes!) of BSO development, I have never seen a reason to do it.
Why do you want to change that value? 99.999% of the time, the issue isn't the number of blocks in memory isn't the issue, but the ability to have the default (I think) 100 blocks in memory. I suppose one could have a calc that touches more blocks, but I have never seen it. It would be slow, for sure and I would likely find another way to do the calc.
