The IBM System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP), previously known as the zSeries Application Assist Processor, is a mainframe processor introduced by IBM in 2004. zAAP engines [1] are dedicated to running specific Java and XML workloads under z/OS, accelerating performance. zAAPs are available for zSeries 990 and 890 servers and later zSeries and zEnterprise models.
A pair of IBM mainframes. On the left is the IBM z13 (while the naming was changed, the z13 line had a zSystems label on doors). On the right is the IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper. IBM Z [1] is a family name used by IBM for all of its z/Architecture mainframe computers.
As it is an assembly language, BAL uses the native instruction set of the IBM mainframe architecture on which it runs, System/360, just as the successors to BAL use the native instruction sets of the IBM mainframe architectures on which they run, including System/360, System/370, System/370-XA, ESA/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture.
Rexx (restructured extended executor) is a high-level programming language developed at IBM by Mike Cowlishaw. [6] [7] Both proprietary and open source Rexx interpreters exist for a wide range of computing platforms, and compilers exist for IBM mainframe computers. [8] Rexx is used for scripting, application macros and application development.
IBM described MVPG as "moves a single page and the central processor cannot execute any other instructions until the page move is completed." [ 29 ] The MVPG mainframe instruction [ 30 ] ( M o V e P a G e, opcode X'B254') has been compared to the MVCL ( M o V e C haracter L ong) instruction, both of which can move more than 256 bytes within ...
Transaction Processing Facility (TPF) [2] is an IBM real-time operating system for mainframe computers descended from the IBM System/360 family, including zSeries and System z9. TPF delivers fast, high-volume, high-throughput transaction processing, handling large, continuous loads of essentially simple transactions across large, geographically ...
An IBM System Z10 mainframe computer on which z/OS can run. z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for IBM z/Architecture mainframes, introduced by IBM in October 2000. [2] It derives from and is the successor to OS/390, which in turn was preceded by a string of MVS versions.
SVC is a two byte instruction with the hexadecimal operation code 0A; the second byte of the instruction, the SVC number, indicates the specific request. [2] The SVC number can be any value from 0 to 255, with the particular SVC number being up to the implementer of the operating system, e.g. on IBM's MVS, SVC 3 is used to terminate a program, while on the UNIVAC VS/9 and Fujitsu BS2000 ...
