System z Integrated Information Processor IBM System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) and ISVs IBM System z has introduced a special type of processor called a System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP).
z/OS is capable of causing certain types of work to execute in part on zIIPs. The type of work that z/OS can redirect to zIIPs can be characterized as Service Request Blocks (SRBs) which have been joined to an Enclave. A document and additional information that describes the software interfaces that can be used by a program, to request that z/OS cause SRBs in an Enclave to be executed in part on zIIPs, is now available subject to certain terms and conditions. Please note, the interfaces for creating and classifying Enclaves and scheduling SRBs for execution are already available in existing z/OS product documentation. This supplemental material provides information to direct the SRBs in the Enclave to execute in part on zIIPs. In order to receive this document and additional information, you must meet certain requirements which include the execution of a licensing agreement with IBM. If you wish to find out more about the requirements associated with this document and additional information, please send an email to zi...@us.ibm.com zi...@us.ibm.com with your company name, your name, your business phone number and your business email address along with the subject zIIP Document If you choose to send such an email, the personal information you supply will only be used to contact you about the zIIP Document. By sending the email you agree that IBM may use your data in the manner described above.
