John, Yes, it is available on the z990s too.

It is really a normal CPU which has be somehow "crippled" so that it can only run a Java JVM. What this does for z/OS is allow one to have a CPU dedicated to Java work which does not count towards other (OEM and IBM) software costs. They are only announced for the z890 (maybe the z990 - I don't remember). Being "Java Only" IBM believes that they will therefore only be used for the new "e-workload" (to coin a phrase) such as WAS. If we get one, we will very likely convert some COBOL to Java (if applicable) just to releive the load on the "more costly" CPU engine. ************************************************ The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
