In July 2017, with another generation of products, the official family was changed to IBM Z from IBM z Systems; the IBM Z family will soon include the newest model, the IBM z17, as well as the z16, z15, z14, and z13 (released under the IBM z Systems/IBM System z names), the IBM zEnterprise models (in common use the zEC12 and z196), the IBM ...
The z14 is a microprocessor made by IBM for their z14 mainframe computers, announced on July 17, 2017. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] Manufactured at GlobalFoundries ' East Fishkill, New York fabrication plant. [ 1 ] IBM stated that it is the world's fastest microprocessor by clock rate at 5.2 GHz, [ 2 ] with a 10% increased performance per core and 30% for the ...
A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or big iron, [1] is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing.
IBM's Poughkeepsie site is where the z16 mainframe is tested and manufactured, continuing a six-decade history of mainframes at the site.
Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...
The z16 introduced the Neural-network-processing-assist facility, [6] [7] which introduces several instructions performing operations on model-dependent data types. For the z16 this is the 16-bit NNP-Data-Type-1 Format. The new instruction provide tensor operations useful for AI and neural network applications.
Rectangular and square HSS are also commonly called tube steel or box section. Circular HSS are sometimes mistakenly called steel pipe, although true steel pipe is actually dimensioned and classed differently from HSS. (HSS dimensions are based on exterior dimensions of the profile; pipes are also manufactured to an exterior tolerance, albeit ...
The number of "characterizable" (or configurable) processing units (PUs) is indicated in the hardware model designation (e.g., the E26 has 26 characterizable PUs). ). Depending on the capacity model, a PU can be characterized as a Central Processor (CP), Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) processor, z Application Assist Processor (zAAP), z10 Integrated Information Processor (zIIP), or ...
