چکیده
With the advent of zSeries processors and z/OS, IBM decided to offer a new software cost structure. The new pricing structure, Sub-Capacity Workload License Charges, attempts to reduce the cost of key IBM software in the z/OS environment. This paper discusses the author’s experiences with Sub-Capacity License Charges, the tools available to help manage the LPARs running sub-capacity WLC, results, and benefits.

Intelligent Resource Director (IRD), a feature of the IBM eServer zSeries processors and the z/OS operating system, manages multiple heterogeneous workloads with various business priorities toward achieving their goals. It establishes a more synergistic relationship with the Workload Manager (WLM) component of z/OS and the zSeries hardware, and augments the adjustments that WLM makes to local s...
متن کاملSo You Want to Manage Your z-Series MIPS? Then Detect & Control Application Workload Variance!
Workload analysis on the mainframe can be complicated if your business runs operations 7/24 with hundreds of applications. At our enterprise, we have a success story where the Z-series MIPS capacity has been held flat for more than two years. Each month every application is measured for current activity and compared to a baseline. Those applications that exceed a variance threshold are detected...
متن کاملA Workload Manager Architecture for the Monitoring of Drivers' Cognitive Impairment
This paper presents the architecture of a software system able to assess the cognitive effort of a driver by monitoring the interaction between the driver and the steering wheel; this system is called WL Manager (WLM). The advantage of a Workload Manager System based on the steering dynamic is that of being not invasive in comparison to other workload measures, in particular physiological (hear...

متن کاملUnderstanding the Impact of Cache Locations on Storage Performance and Energy Consumption of Virtualization Systems
As per-server CPU cores and DRAM capacity continuously increase, application density of virtualization platforms hikes. High application density imposes tremendous pressure on storage systems. Layers of caches are deployed to improve storage performance. Owing to its manageability and transparency advantages, hypervisorside caching is widely employed. However, hypervisorside caches locate at th...
