    Abstract: Processing of character data is facilitated. A Find Element Equal instruction is provided that compares data of multiple vectors for equality and provides an indication of equality, if equality exists. An index associated with the equal element is stored in a target vector register. Further, the same instruction, the Find Element Equal instruction, also searches a selected vector for null elements, also referred to as zero elements. A result of the instruction is dependent on whether the null search is provided, or just the compare.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to dynamic enablement of multithreading. According to an aspect, a computer system includes a configuration with a core configurable between a single thread (ST) mode and a multithreading (MT) mode. The ST mode addresses a primary thread, and the MT mode addresses the primary thread and one or more secondary threads on shared resources of the core. The computer system also includes a multithreading facility configured to control the configuration to perform a method. The method includes executing in the primary thread in the ST mode, an MT mode setting instruction. A number of threads requested is obtained from a location specified by the MT mode setting instruction. Based on determining that the number of threads requested indicates multiple threads, the MT mode is enabled to execute the multiple threads including the primary thread and the one or more secondary threads.

    Abstract: Vector exception handling is facilitated. A vector instruction is executed that operates on one or more elements of a vector register. When an exception is encountered during execution of the instruction, a vector exception code is provided that indicates a position within the vector register that caused the exception. The vector exception code also includes a reason for the exception.

    Abstract: The length of character data having a termination character is determined. The character data for which the length is to be determined is loaded, in parallel, within one or more vector registers. An instruction is used that loads data in a vector register to a specified boundary, and provides a way to determine the number of characters loaded, using, for instance, another instruction. Further, an instruction is used to find the index of the first termination character, e.g., the first zero or null character. This instruction searches the data in parallel for the termination character. By using these instructions, the length of the character data is determined using only one branch instruction.
