Come to this session for a technical introduction to the just announced IBM z13s, the newest member of the IBM z Systems family, and for an overview of new enhancements to the IBM z13. You will be introduced to z13s system design including model structure and performance; processor design; cache organization; memory offerings; cryptographic enhancements; operating system support; and implementation considerations. A review of enhancements to z13 and z13s z/Architecture compared to the previous generation including simultaneous multithreading (SMT) and the Vector Facility (SIMD instructions) will also be presented. Gain insight into how the PR/SM hypervisor, z/OS, z/VM and KVM for z have been enhanced to optimize z13 and z13s zIIP and IFL capacity. Build a foundation for planning z13s implementation and exploitation and prepare to attend more in depth sessions on those topics. This session assumes a reasonable familiarity with previous z Systems servers and operating systems.-Kenneth Stine-IBM
