Notes: Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.

Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) on z13s !  SMT support one or two threads to execute on a zIIP or IFL. !  Capacity improvement is variable depending on workload. For

AVERAGE workloads the estimated capacity of a z13s zIIP/IFL with exploitation of the SMT option is: ‒  A z13s zIIP is up to 68% greater than a zBC12 zIIP ‒  A z13s IFL is up to 61% greater than a zBC12 IFL ‒  A z13s zIIP is up to 129% greater than a z114 zIIP ‒  A z13s IFL is up to 119% greater than a z114 IFL

!  SMT exploitation: ‒  z/VM V6.3 + PTFs, or z/VM 6.4 for IFLs (GA 4Q2016) ‒  z/OS V2.1 + PTFs, or z/OS V2.2 in an LPAR for zIIPs ‒  KVM for IBM z V1.1.1 (3/2016) ‒  For recommended Linux distribution levels refer to: http://

www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/resources/testedplatforms.html !  The use of SMT mode can be enabled on an LPAR by LPAR basis via

operating system parameters. ‒  When enabled, z/OS can transition dynamically between single

thread mode and SMT mode with operator commands. !  Notes: SMT is designed to deliver better overall capacity

(throughput) for many workloads. Thread performance (instruction execution rate for an individual thread) may be faster running in single thread mode.

Which approach is designed for the highest volume*** of traffic? Which road is faster? (***) Two lanes at 50 carry 25% more

volume if traffic density per lane is equal

More memory makes a difference

!  Improve transaction response times and increase transaction rates (DB2, IMS, CICS) ! Reduce CPU usage and improve CPU scaling.

! The former saves money, the latter adds flexibility. ! Reduce Batch window, shorter elapsed times for jobs. ! Simplify memory management.

! Skills now spent tuning memory can be applied to driving business value. !  Improve availability.

! Tolerate larger memory and I/O workload spikes. Enable faster recovery. ! New opportunities for in-memory computing (Analytics)

! Dramatic reduction in response time by avoiding I/O wait ! Deploy more of today’s memory-hungry workloads with IBM z Systems industry-

leading security and lower total cost of ownership (Larger Java heaps, IBM MQ DB2 BLU, ETL Processing, Cognos cubing, large in memory databases, etc…)

Large memory can deliver significant performance improvements for Linux

Workloads Linux users are accustomed to running large databases: " DB2, Oracle footprint

" Cognos Cubing "  In Memory Analytics

LPAR Group Absolute Capping

! Next step in partition capping options available on z13 GA2 and z13s

! Follow on to LPAR Absolute Capping, using a similar methodology to enforce: –  Customer licensing –  Non-z/OS partitions where group soft capping is not an option –  z/OS partitions where ISV does not support software capping

! A group name, processor capping value, and partition membership are specified at HW console:

–  Set an absolute capacity cap by CPU type on a group of LPARs –  Allows each of the partitions to consume capacity up to their individual limits as long as the group's

aggregate consumption does not exceed the group absolute capacity limit –  Includes updated SysEvent QVS support (used by vendors who implement SW pricing) – Only shared partitions managed in these groups –  Can specify caps for one or more processor types in the group

•  Specified in absolute processor capacity (eg 2.5 processors) –  Use Change LPAR Group Controls (same panels used for software group defined capacity)

Flash Express on z13s and z13 GA2 ! Typical Client Use Cases:

– Improve availability and performance during workload transition and spikes – Faster, less disruptive diagnostics with faster first failure data capture time – Less paging with use of pageable large pages for Java or DB2 – Resilient solution for overflow of MQ shared queues in Coupling Facility

!  IBM Flash Express read/write cache – on IBM z13s & z13 GA2 – A read/write cache greatly increases performance by allowing customer data

to be stored temporarily in a cache located in the system's Hardware System Area (HSA) RAM:

•  0.5GB of HSA space reserved on z13s and 4GB on z13 GA2 – Extended-asynchronous-data-mover (EADMF) operations would complete

from a partition's perspective immediately after data is moved to/from HSA cache, long before IBM Flash Express operations have completed.

!  IBM Flash Express Dynamic Fan Speed Adjustment – Allows the I/O Processor to periodically communicate the IBM Flash Express

temperatures to power/thermal code running on an FSP which adjusts the fans to raise the flow rate when IBM Flash Express traffic has risen to the point that the SSD temperature is at risk of causing throttling.

IBM's statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM's sole discretion. Information regarding

potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision. The information

mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code, or functionality. Information about

potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality

described for our products remain at our sole discretion.


IBM z Systems Statements of Directions (SoD) !  Removal of an option for the way shared logical processors are managed under PR/

SM LPAR –  The IBM z13 and IBM z13s will be the last servers to support selection of the option to "Do not end

the timeslice if a partition enters a wait state" when the option to set a processor runtime value has been previously selected in the CPC RESET profile. The CPC RESET profile applies to all shared logical partitions on the machine, and is not selectable by the logical partition.

!  Removal of support for the HCA3-O fanout for 12x IFB InfiniBand coupling links for midrange z Systems

–  The IBM z13s will be the last mid-range z Systems server to support HCA3-O (#0171) 12x IFB InfiniBand coupling links. Mid-range z Systems enterprises should continue migrating to the Integrated Coupling Adapter (ICA-SR) (#0172) for high-speed short-range coupling connectivity.

!  Reduced support for the CPU Measurement Facility Problem-State counter set on IBM z Systems

–  The CPU Measurement Facility (CPUMF) provides four CPU counter sets on each server (basic, problem–state, crypto-activity, and extended). Counters in the CPU counter sets count CPU activities on a logical CPU basis, incrementing for specific activities by one for each CPU cycle when the CPU is in the operating state, and the counter set is active. The problem-state counter set consists of 6 counter values, one of which is the instruction count, which counts the total number of instructions executed when the CPU is in the problem state. IBM z13, IBM z13s, will be the last server generations to support 6 counters in the problem-state counter set. On future servers, the number of implemented counters in the problem-state counter set will be reduced to 1: the problem state instruction count.
