Workstation Tuned Kernel Parameters
updated for June
2001
As of the June 2001 release, kernel parameters for CAE and EE Engineering
workstation kernels will be optimized during the installation or update. If the system is
installed or updated using Ignite-UX (IUX), this occurs automatically.

If you install or
update manually, the optimization only occurs after you select one of the new
engineering workstation kernel sets via SAM.
