Yes David, it will be valuable and informative. But I don't understand your note.
I did pull the information from VM Resources. The class that you refer to would be an EXCELLENT class for those new to VM Systems programming or need a refressher after having been away. And these days, there are many of both. David Kreuter is definitely an excellent and knowledgeable instructor, but I wouldn't call his 1/2 day module of his class a class on VM performance. It's more of an introduction. Here is his abstract of the performance course module if anyone would like to check it out. > At the end of this 1/2 day module >1.An overview of z/VM subsystems >2.An overview of the z/VM dispatcher >3.An overview of the z/VM scheduler >4.Sources of performance data >5.Viewing performance data with CP console function >6.Using the IBM Real Time Monitor to analyze perform So we're not going back to the "poor sods" discussion are we? Re the "bunch of ex-Amdahl folks" at mainline. The only VM instructor at Amdahl in the VM/ESA days was Marty Zimelis, now at CA, but who taught the class for Velocity Software for many years. If you can provide a reference to someone, I would appreciate it. I myself don't like to spread misinformation. Oh, and in regards to SHARE, yes, SHARE is also very good education, as is CMG. Neither would fit the description of a class on VM performance though. >From: David Boyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> This I believe is the ONLY published class anywhere >> providing education on VM performance, or on >> Linux under VM performance. > >It's undoubtedly valuable and informative, but it's not the only one. >There's at least one other: (http://www.vm-resources.com/serv03.htm), >offered by Dave Kreuter at VM Resources. > >I believe Mainline also still offers a VM performance course (used to be >taught by a bunch of ex-Amdahl folks); quality unknown at this point.
