Awesome, thanks for all the info everyone, helpful as always. I don't know what the mainframe community would be without this list.

As Bob said, it's available to ISVs. If you can convince IBM that you are one (perhaps CN sells software, even if it's not your main business. Heh - Ruby on Rails...?) then maybe they'll tell you. Start here for the ISV route: http://dtsc.dfw.ibm.com/MVSDS/'HTTPD2.PT217.HTML(INDEX)' If you want to not be an ISV and still get the info, you'd have to take it up with, as Timothy Sipples is fond of saying, "your friendly IBM representative", by which I assume he means your IBM sales person. How "friendly" he or she will be when you want to reduce the amount you pay IBM by moving cycles to a cheaper CPU, I don't know. Maybe if you can convince them that you will otherwise move the workload onto a non-IBM system... I have no knowledge of the IBM rules in practice, but it doesn't hurt to ask. IBM also has rules (published following the Neon Systems legal action a few years ago) that describe what workloads IBM allows to be run on the various kinds of processors: http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/machine_warranties/machine_code/aut.html And, like Facebook, they get to change the rules any time they want. Even ISVs with access to the means of dispatching work on a zIIP have to conform to these rules. So if what you propose to run on your zIIP doesn't conform in the first place, I can't imagine there's any way they'll tell you how. And don't forget the one documented and supported way to get your own program to run on a zAAP/zIIP: write it in Java. Good luck.
