  • 1.  zIIP exploitation on an ADS-heavy CV .... analysis

    Posted Jan 05, 2016 03:42 PM

    when z/IP exploitation was first introduced in R17, the biggest concern was that a user-code (ADS or DC-COBOL) heavy CV would not fare as well with z/IIP exploitation enabled, and perhaps would even suffer under z/IIP exploitation

     

    our worst fears were confirmed in one CV (62) where TCB usage increased 10% due to z/iip restrictions and the massive number of swaps (at times over 10K per TRANSACTION

     

    over the IDMS releases, due to the modification (fixes) and z/IIP policy changes, I can report that during a trial period I can report the following:

     

    wthout zip

    50K tasks/day

    0.020 total cpu/task (all TCB)

    no swaps (obviously)

     

    with zip:

    same 50K tasks/day

    0.022 total cpu/task

    0.005 TCB cpu/task

    0.017 SRB cpu/task (ziip)

    2K+ swaps/ transaction

     

    every CV is different, and every day is different fror a given CV

     

    but I am confident in saying that in OUR environment, z/IIP exploitation  has led to a definite and measurable billable cpu reduction in ALL our environments
