CPACF Metrics?
I've been told that IBM publishes some numbers that show CPACF overhead metrics somewhere? Anyone know where? I'm basically interested in confirming something a vendor told me about an encryption product - so many MBs encrypted for so many CPU seconds. Thanks.

I downloaded the following document: IBM eServer zSeries 990 Performance of Cryptographic Operations (Cryptographic Hardware: CPACF, PCICA, PCIXCC, CEX2C) I can't remeber URL (for sure it was IBM site), however I can sent it to you if you want. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: CPACF Metrics for z9
Hi Radoslaw and Jeffrey, After I got the zSeries 990 document from Radoslaw (Thanks again!) I tried to lookup similar docs for the z9. And here they are. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/security/cryptography.html contains links to these 2 z9 performance docs at the right hand side of this page: “IBM System z9 Business Class Performance of Cryptographic Operations (Cryptographic Hardware: CPACF, CEX2C, CEX2A)” (May 2006) www.ibm.com/systems/z/security/pdf/Web_z9_BC_Crypto_Rel_052006_Final.pdf “IBM System z9-109 Performance of Cryptographic Operations (Cryptographic Hardware: CPACF, CEX2C, CEX2A)” (January 2006) www.ibm.com/systems/z/security/pdf/Web_z9_Crypto_Rel_01202006_X.pdf (z9-109 being the first naming for z EC (Enterprise Class) as you know).
