IBM System z10 is a line of IBM mainframes. The z10 Enterprise Class (EC) was announced on February 26, 2008. On October 21, 2008, IBM announced the z10 Business Class (BC), a scaled-down version of the z10 EC. The System z10 represents the first model family powered by the z10 quad core processing engine.
Even though the z10 processor has on-die facilities for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), there is a dedicated companion chip called the SMP Hub Chip or Storage Control (SC) that adds 24 MB off-die L3 cache and lets it communicate with other z10 processors and Hub Chips at 48 GB/s. The Hub Chip consists of 1.6 billion transistors and measures 20 ...
IBM System z10. This generation of Z servers supported more memory than previous generation systems and can have up to 64 central processors (CPs) per frame. The full speed z10 processor's uniprocessor performance was up to 62% faster than that of the z9 server, according to IBM's z10 announcement, and included these other features:
IBM described MVPG as "moves a single page and the central processor cannot execute any other instructions until the page move is completed." [ 29 ] The MVPG mainframe instruction [ 30 ] ( M o V e P a G e, opcode X'B254') has been compared to the MVCL ( M o V e C haracter L ong) instruction, both of which can move more than 256 bytes within ...
An IBM System Z10 mainframe computer on which z/OS can run. z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for IBM z/Architecture mainframes, introduced by IBM in October 2000. [2] It derives from and is the successor to OS/390, which in turn was preceded by a string of MVS versions.
The IBM System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP), previously known as the zSeries Application Assist Processor, is a mainframe processor introduced by IBM in 2004. zAAP engines [1] are dedicated to running specific Java and XML workloads under z/OS, accelerating performance. zAAPs are available for zSeries 990 and 890 servers and later zSeries and zEnterprise models.
Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) is a structured naming scheme for information technology systems, software, and packages. Based upon the generic syntax for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI), CPE includes a formal name format, a method for checking names against a system, and a description format for binding text and tests to a name.
HiperDispatch is a workload dispatching feature found in recent IBM mainframe models (the System z10 and IBM zEnterprise System processors and later models) running recent releases of z/OS. HiperDispatch was introduced in February 2008. Support was added to z/VM in its V6R3 release on July 26, 2013.
