My take on it is that, for 390/zSeries architecture, raw computational performance takes a back seat to RAS; just about any time during architecture design that there was a conflict between issues of performance and, say, reliability, reliability would win. To my mind, that is the correct call.
Jon <snip> That's what I've heard as well. I've always wondered why the zSeries is so computationally inferior to almost any other current CPU architecture. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
