John, publicly, no. The only workload that I know of today is Java. Yes, it's touted as a "Java" processor, 'cuz that's the only thing using it today. Read between the lines from this redbook:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG246386/wwhelp/wwhimpl/java/html/wwhel p.htm Quoting: "When a z/OS logical partition is configured, both CPs and zAAPs are defined as necessary to support the planned Java and non-Java workloads. zAAPs may be configured as initially online or reserved for subsequent use by z/OS as necessary..." If it were only destined to be a "java" processor, sans any copyright considerations or politically correct names, I would have expected a name like "zJAP" (LOL). Now, on the other hand, they hit the nail on the head when they named the "IFL". It's an "application assist processor", or formally, "integrated facility for applications" - read between the lines - reduce mainframe TCO - don't charge for software - more open source leverage... blah, blah, blah.
