The last time I checked, InstantASP was about the only thing out there.
Certain pieces of ASP support were/are missing, so that needs to be
investigated.

It takes somewhere between 1 and 4 900 MHz SPARC III to do the work of a
z900T (around 900 MHz) engine, DEPENDING on the workload. This is at equal
utilization on both machines. Use 1.5 to 2 if you don't know what the
workload is.
We use the following rules for utilization:

We are using it here under linz. I also tested it under OS/390. Both work. The
things to watch out for are windows is not case sensitive. So if you just ftp the
files, you might have to do some
changes. If case is not an issue the only changes we had to make was to the JDBC

I believe there are also some ASP to PHP conversion programs although I

probably not a good candidate for consolidation.

What about them? If you're already on Intel, and you're CPU-bound, you
don't want to go to S/390. CPU work is much, much cheaper per unit on
Intel than on anything else.

If by ASP they mean Active Server Pages, it's a Microsoft-only thing.

But this does not simulate the same effect.
Field testing seems to indicate that there is a noticeable benefit to
this approach.
Is it equivalent to PAV? Maybe not. Perhaps I don't understand PAV well
enough.
Can you recommend some further background reading?

Hi list,

standard or is this still somewhat bleeding edge with Linux? How does it

There's a few ways to do this, I'm sure.
One way is to use a loop back device. Use 'losetup /dev/loop0 -e DES

That should send you in the right direction for more details...

Their nopart-stat patch mucks it up. I can get around it, but I was just
wondering if anyone knew the right way to do it.
Thanks much,

Chris is right, as far as I can tell. This is a desktop/workstation
release, and not a Linux/390 one.
