Open Mainframe? News to me. Mainframes require three criteria:
1) Maximum *reliable* single-thread performance (see the "Linux on S/390" redbook "Appendix A" for how reliability is tricked out); 2) Maximum I/O throughput; and 3) Maximum I/O connectivity. Admittedly, criterion 3 is kind of undercut by SAN technology. Additionally, the instruction set need not mimic the zSeries to be a mainframe. We already know that handling memory access faults in IBM's SS instructions for virtual machine functionality that much harder to pull off... Now you've all just added to my reading list.
