Planning Considerations for HiperDispatch Mode 2008-04-02 IBM

For all levels of z/OS, a TCB or SRB may be dispatched on any logical processor of the type required (standard, zAAP or zIIP). A unit of work starts on one logical processor and subsequently may be dispatched on any other logical processor. The logical processors for one LPAR image receive an equal share for equal access to the physical processors under PR/SM LPAR control. For example, if the weight of a logical partition with four logical processors results in a share of two physical processors, or 200%, the LPAR hypervisor will manage each of the four logical processors with a 50% share of a physical processor. All logical processors are used if there is work available, and they typically have similar processing utilizations.

Running Linux on the PlayStation 3: More Than a Toy 2008-03-18 IBM

The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) runs Linux, but getting it to run well requires some tweaking. In this paper, first in a series, Peter Seebach introduces the features and benefits of PS3 Linux, and explains some of the issues that might benefit from a bit of tweaking. When Sony first announced that the PlayStation 3 would be able to run Linux natively, a great deal of excitement ensued. Early on, it was a bit of a challenge to get Linux natively installed. The supported installer ran a custom script that hand-mangled a Fedora Core 5 or 6 install DVD into a runnable system with a special PS3 kernel. People put in hours and hours of effort to get other systems, such as Ubuntu, working.

Hosting Data Center Networking With Vyatta 2008-03-10 Vyatta

This paper will show how Vyatta open-source software combined with off-the-shelf x86 hardware can be leveraged to perform most routing and firewall requirements in the hosting data center at a fraction of the cost of closed proprietary systems. While proprietary networking equipment vendors have created discrete hardware product categories and price points based on arbitrary performance segmentation, open networking systems are proving that a single system can be continually upgraded to perform the same tasks. Vyatta solutions can be deployed at multiple points in the hosting data center from the backbone to the customer cage resulting in better performance and significantly faster Return On Investment (ROI).
