With its introduction of virtual cache at levels 2, 3, and 4, the z16 represents
the most significant change to the z processor architecture since the z13. The
magnitude of these changes has understandably generated a great deal of
curiosity into how this virtual cache approach operates conceptually and how it
is actually performing at customer sites. The two speakers in this session will
tackle both of those topics: - John will highlight key z16 advances with
particular focus on the new cache architecture, explaining the concepts so you
can optimize your configuration. - Todd will present user experiences from
numerous customer upgrades quantifying the extent to which z16s are delivering
on their rated capacity. This session was well-received in New Orleans, and
since then the sample set of user upgrades that have been analyzed has more than
doubled. Attendees will learn from the z16 experiences of the speakers as well
as the capacity experiences of numerous customers. -- Presented by Todd Havekost; John Baker
