Tune your processor configuration to increase the MIPS you get out of your mainframe hardware.
Delivered capacity on z13 and z14 processors are more dependent than ever before on processor cache efficiency
While there is no single magic solution to give you more MIPS on your z13 & z14, there are certainly tuning actions that can be done to improve the effective MIPS rate for your workload.
This webinar shows how IntelliMagic Vision identifies areas for improvement and measures the results using the SMF 113 processor records and shows tuning actions that can be done to improve the effective MIPS rate for your workload on your z13 & z14.
