Cheryl’s List #63 – March 11, 2002

March 11, 2002Cheryl's Listcheryl

1. CPU Chart Correction
2. New Free Newsletters
3. Update on z800s
4. Cheryl’s Hot Flashes #7

1.  CPU Chart Correction

The CPU Chart that was emailed to electronic subscribers on February 28th had two typos in it.  These have been corrected in the printed version, which will be mailed today.  A new CPU Chart will be emailed to electronic subscribers within the next couple of days.

Dave Murphy pointed out that I had used ‘Large System Performance Ratings’ instead of ‘Large System Performance Reference’ to refer to LSPR in two places (it was correct elsewhere).  It was a typo that we missed during editing.

Ronald LeJeune of Stora Enso North America noted that the Min and Max MIPS for the Multiprise 7060 machines were incorrect.  Something went haywire with my spreadsheet!  The correct values are:

Model
 Min
Max
H30
53
63
H50/H55
100
123
H70/H75 
188
225

 

2. New Free Newsletters

Xephon has a nifty new (and free) weekly online newsletter about MVS, DB2, MQ, CICS, etc. at http://www.mainframeweek.com.  It’s new enough that you can easily read the back issues, and then subscribe for your weekly email.  Thanks, Xephon, for an informative new newsletter!

BMC is sponsoring an online DBA magazine that I find to be an excellent source for performance and tutorial articles on DB2, Oracle, and other databases.  Look at http://www.dbazine.com.

3.  Update on z800s

In the last Cheryl’s List, I indicated that SRM constants were not yet available for the z800s.  The constants were added to the IBM Web site after I had written the Cheryl’s List.  You can find them at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/srm.

4.  Cheryl’s Hot Flashes #7

My SHARE presentation, “Cheryl’s Hot Flashes #7,” containing my latest hints & tips, will be sent out to electronic subscribers today.  Print subscribers can see it in Cheryl’s Watson’s TUNING Letter 2002, No. 1, which will be out soon.  (Sorry for the delay, but my bad back made writing difficult.  It’s better now.)  Hope you enjoy!

Stay tuned!
