Timothy, Will IBM be releasing a new edition of the z/Architecture Principles of Operation publication, or will the SIMD instruction set be documented in a separate publication, as was the case with the earlier vector facilities?

Yet another piece of fantastic news. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
