one always reviews and complies with software licenses. There's nothing

Really?
Can I code PARMLIB in Unicode?
Can I get z/OS messages to be issued in Unicode?

That's just not correct.

I doubt IBM expects anyone to convert due to SIMD. However, the SIMD
functionality may encourage some to look towards IBM when considering Linux
solutions. For the rest of us, compilers will generate SIMD code where

Think MMX and SSE for your x86 boxes. They've had it since before the turn of
the century. Not to mention SMT.

And I am eager to see it too, due to this:
z/OS V2.2 XML System Services is planned to use the new vector (SIMD)
instructions available on z13 processors. This function, also available on
z/OS V2
