Do you remember when "large" memory was measured in single-digit GBs, or maybe
even MBs? Yeah, I feel old too! It's a different world today! With z/OS 2.5 now
supporting up to 16 TB of real storage z/OS memory management has had to evolve
to keep pace. This support for large memory sizes can transform application
performance but too few sites are taking advantage of it. Come to this session
to learn about how memory management has changed in z/OS, why large pages are
important, and get some ideas for how you can leverage large memory to improve
the performance of your systems.
