Test Methodology

The methodology that was used for testing how z/VM® 6.3 HiperDispatch polarization modes affect middleware performance is described in this topic.

Test workloads
To ensure a customer-like scenario, a workload mix of very different workloads was chosen in which each represented a typical workload pattern. All workloads were driven in parallel.
How the z/VM Performance Toolkit was used
A description of the z/VM Performance Toolkit that was used for testing how polarization modes affect middleware performance is provided in this topic.
Workload performance metrics
All workload performance metrics are not presented as absolute values, but instead as the relative values with respect to the reference result.
