zEnterprise - new PoPS?
I was reading the new Redpiece about the zEnterprise. It had a section which stated the z196 has 110 new instructions in the following catagories: High-word facility Interlocked-access facility Load/Store on condition facility Distinct operands facility Integer to/from floating point conversions PER zero address detect Decimal floating point quantum exceptions New crypto functions and modes Virtual architectural level Non-quiescing SSKe Anybody know if a new PoPS documenting these exists anywhere?

Re: zEnterprise - new PoPS?
I was really excited by the conditional load/store which I guess is similar to the compare and branch instructions. I don't know if they will combine a compare and load/store or do a load/store based on the existing CC from a previous instruction. I remember a RISC processor of some sort where every instruction was conditional. On the z, that would cost 4 bits per instruction if the mask were encoded like in a branch.
