I still use the BC/EC nomenclature for lack of a better one.
It comes down to the number of CPs you can have. The z15-T01("EC") has up
to 190 general processors while the z15-T02("BC") is limited to 6. It goes
back to the number of possible drawers on the CEC.Traditionally, the BC machines have many more sub capacity settings compared with EC. You can dial the processors from A to Z , so 26 different capacity settings per CP. The EC machines have much less granularity On Thu, 2 Mar 2023 at 19:13, Pommier, Rex <[email protected]> wrote: > IBM dropped the EC/BC nomenclature, much to my chagrin.
