True. Some vendors are building benchmark to 'prove' their own hardware and/or software is 'better'. > I/O performance can be a much more interesting component than the CPU time. Of course. That (I/O Performance) and type of workload mix can throw up any benchmarks you're trying to use. >the z10 zAAPs stayed at right around 15-20% busy or so. With or without, for example, DB2 work offloaded to zAAP? >With that set to "no" I think all of my JVMs show >95% of their zAAP-eligible >time is on the zAAPs, and >98% is not uncommon. Just curious and if you don't mind please, what did you used to measure those usage percentage? Are only the JVM work measured or not? >I don't think I answered your question, but hopefully I've given you some >things to think about. But you gave a good general answer. I believe many on IBM-MAIN can learn from it. Many thanks!
