Big apps on z/Linux

2018-02-19 Thread Alex Kodat
Hey folks, Been looking at a largish app that has scale up and scale out bits. Based on experiments run on a 4-core z13 and 20 core Power8, I'd guess we could run this app (with a bit of headroom) with ~24 z13 cores. Lots of memory would be good (1T+) and, for scale out we need to be able to
