There are several good references. watsonwalker.com, SHARE, CMG and Performance Associates. I've always enjoyed Dr. H Pat's observations. http://researchr.org/alias/h.-pat-artis The IBM LSPR numbers are a good starting point if you have an idea of where you're going. You need to be cognizant of the Z13 design for thruput. Harv Emery points out in his SHARE presentations of the dual pathing and other improvements for the Z13.
