IBM System z has introduced a special type of processor called a
System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP).
z/OS is capable of causing certain types of work to execute in part
on zIIPs. The type of work eligible for z/OS redirection to zIIPs
can be characterized as non-task, service request block ("SRB") mode
work that is joined in an enclave of Workload Manager for z/OS
("WLM").
For qualifying ISVs, a document and additional information that
describes the IBM proprietary software interfaces that can be used by
eligible work of an ISV program, to request that z/OS cause such
work to be executed in part on zIIPs, is now available subject to
certain terms and conditions. Please note, the interfaces for creating
and classifying Enclaves and scheduling SRBs for execution are already
available in existing z/OS product documentation. This supplemental
material provides information to direct the SRBs in the Enclave to
execute in part on zIIPs.
In order to receive this document and additional information, the
ISV must meet certain requirements which include the execution of a
licensing agreement with IBM. If you wish to find out more about
the requirements associated with this document and additional
information,
please send an email to
zTech@us.ibm.com with your company name,
your name, your business phone number and your business email
address
