This session is for professionals interested in learning more about how z/OS
manages and dispatches work between General Purpose Processors (GPs) and Assist
Processors such as Z Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs). The session
starts with the history and evolution of specialty engine types and goes deeper
into usage differences before touching on AI and discussing COBOL (GP)-to-JAVA
(zIIP) modernization considerations; it also offers practical and non-obvious
insights regarding impacts to application performance and costs. Come and join
us for a fascinating session!
