The zAAP or zIIP procurement question has a relatively simple answer (for a static analysis). You just pull out the RMF report for at least your monthly peak interval, find out how much (if any) zAAP- or zIIP-eligible workload was running at that interval, translate that into an MSU count, calculat

"It depends," but if we're talking about steady state execution, and business functions that could be reasonably implemented in either language, and "best practices" performance engineering in both languages (not a given, unfortunately), then Java (which is just-in-time compiled) would consume some

That's the entire question. Assume a programmer is good at both languages. Also assume that the work to be done can be done in both languages without a bunch of "funny" stuff. I wonder which would take less CPU, on average. If I had a zAAP, I'd likely go with Java. If I needed to to ISPF macros,
