NPAGEDYN sets the size of the nonpaged dynamic pool in bytes. This figure is rounded down to an integral number of pages. NPAGEDYN establishes the initial setting of the nonpaged pool size, but the pool size can be increased dynamically. To set a value for this parameter, use AUTOGEN initially, and then monitor the amount of space actually used with the DCL command SHOW MEMORY/POOL/FULL. For the benefit of OpenVMS VAX systems with limited physical memory, AUTOGEN logs a warning message in its report if NPAGEDYN exceeds 10 percent of physical memory or if NPAGEVIR exceeds 33 percent of physical memory. AUTOGEN also limits its own calculated value for NPAGEDYN to 20 percent of physical memory and limits NPAGEVIR to 50 percent of physical memory. These calculated values are adequate for most workstations and systems with 16 or fewer megabytes of physical memory. If your system requires a larger value, you can override the AUTOGEN calculated values by setting higher values in MODPARAMS.DAT. NPAGEDYN has AUTOGEN, FEEDBACK, GEN, and MAJOR attributes.
