| | <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>>/390 Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography |
 | | The <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>> z9-109 (S54), with up to 54 "characterizable" PUs (processors), is currently the most powerful IBM mainframe available, reportedly capable of performing approximately 18,660,000,000 core instructions per second. | | | (The <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>> z9, for example, always has at least two spares available.) The zSeries/z9 then "calls home" (automatically places a service call to IBM), and an IBM service technician soon arrives with a replacement part (called a "book," consisting of a group of processors). | | | In mid-2005, IBM began using a new brand name (<<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>> z9), coinciding with the announcement of the company's Model 109 server. |

| | VM/CMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | VM/CMS (Virtual Machine/Conversational Monitor <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>>, originally called CP/CMS when it first appeared) is a bundled pair of operating systems used on IBM <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>>/360, <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>>/370, <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>>/390, zSeries, and <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>> z9 mainframes (and compatible systems). | | | Thereafter, the utility of the <<b>bb>>systemb>bb>> — especially within IBM, where it was heavily used in developing MVS&;— prevented all attempts to kill it. | | | After IBM announced the <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>>/360 Model 67, the first <<b>bb>>systemb>bb>> to feature early VM-oriented hardware, the software was converted to run on that. |

| | IBM: Integrated Facility for Linux |
| | Because the price of the IFL is the same for all <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>> z9 and zSeries generations, and because the performance of one z9 engine will have a 35% increase over the uniprocessor of the z990 301, the price/performance improvement for Linux workload may be in the range of 35%. | | | The IFL is available for the recently introduced IBM <<b>bb>>Systemb>bb>> z9 109 (z9-109), zSeries 990 (z990), zSeries 900 (z900), zSeries 890 (z890), and zSeries 800 (z800). | | | Consequently, executing Linux workload on the IFL does not result in any increase in monthly license charges for the IBM operating systems or IBM software running on the general purpose processor. |
