The z15 Model T02 is the new 'mid-range' Z System:
65 client configurable cores, an increase of 35 over the z14 ZR1, with single processor capacity of z15 T02 for equal n-way at common client configurations, approximately 14% greater than on z14 ZR1 with some variation based on workload and configuration. 15 % z/OS and 120 % Linux maximum system capacity growth over z14 ZR1 for exceptional scale in a single footprint. More on-chip cache per core, compared to z14 ZR1, to help minimize memory wait times for data serving applications. Up to 16 terabytes (TB) of available Redundant Array of Independent Memory (RAIM) real memory per server to help simplify capacity planning, enlarge in-memory buffer pools, cache sysplex shared data and controls in Coupling Facilities, and ease deploying memory-intensive workloads. IBM Integrated Accelerator for z Enterprise Data Compression, designed to reduce the cost of storing, transporting, and processing data without changing applications. It replaces the zEDC Express card on z14 ZR1 and older generations of IBM servers, and interoperates compatibly with the zEDC compression used on previous IBM Z platforms and with industry-standard compression used on other platforms. Improved compression ratio (using Huffman coding) and order-preserving compression result in fewer CPU cycles to enable further compression of data, improving memory, transfer, and disk efficiency. More than 30 new instructions codesigned and exploited by Java, new vector enhancements to improve analytics applications, and new instructions for sort acceleration.
