Abstract
Processing of a storage operand request identified as restrained is selectively, temporarily suppressed. The processing includes identifying a storage operand request as restrained, where the identifying includes obtaining, by a processing unit, an access intent instruction indicating an access intent associated with an operand of a next sequential instruction. The access intent indicates usage of the storage operand request is restrained. Further, the method includes determining whether a storage operand request is to a common storage location shared by multiple processing units of a computing environment and is identified restrained, and based on determining that the storage operand request is restrained, then temporarily suppressing requesting access to the common storage location pursuant to the storage operand request.
