Disclaimer


Any information contained in this document regarding Specialty Engines ("SEs") and SE eligible workloads provides only general descriptions of the types and portions of workloads that are eligible for execution on Specialty Engines (e.g., zIIPs, zAAPs, and IFLs). IBM authorizes customers to use IBM SEs only to execute the processing of Eligible Workloads of specific Programs expressly authorized by IBM as specified in the “Authorized Use Table for IBM Machines” provided at: http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/machine_warranties/machine_code/aut.html (“AUT”). No other workload processing is authorized for execution on an SE.

IBM offers SEs at a lower price than General Processors/Central Processors because customers are authorized to use SEsonly to process certain types and/or amounts of workloads as specified by IBM in the AUT.

NOTE: Performance is based on measurements and projections using IMS benchmarks in a controlled environment. The results that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, the amount of zIIP capacity available during processing, and the workload processed. Therefore, results may vary significantly and no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here. Results should be used for reference purposes only.

The test scenarios (hardware configuration and workloads) used in this document to generate performance data are not considered ‘best performance case’ scenarios. Performance may be better or worse depending on the hardware configuration, data set types and sizes, and the overall workload on the system.

The information contained in this document is distributed on an “AS IS” basis without any warranty either expressed or implied. The use of this information or the implementation of any of these techniques is a customer responsibility and depends on the customer’s ability to evaluate and integrate them into their operational environment. While each item may have been reviewed by IBM for accuracy in a specific situation, there is no guarantee that the same or similar results will be obtained elsewhere. Customers attempting to adapt these techniques to their own environments do so at their own risk.
