What does that mean, Al? Did you see it documented somewhere that some of the
new instructions somehow make use of zIIP? That suggests millicoded
instructions that somehow are dispatched on another processor. That seems quite
unlikely to me.
This must be a misunderstanding...
Perhaps he's thinking of the new Vector Facility for z Architecture (aka
SIMD). Of course, those instructions work on all PU types.
