Results for the z/VM large memory tests

Edit online

After performing our large memory performance tests, we charted our test results, interpreted the results, and created recommendations.

Results from the workload test runs are shown. All CPU utilization and paging results detailed in this chapter were obtained from the z/VM® Performance Monitor reports. Completed transaction throughputs were reported by the workload driver.

Tests we performed included:

Scale guests into memory overcommitment on z/VM 5.2
Scale guests into memory overcommitment on z/VM 5.3
Comparison of z/VM 5.3 versus z/VM 5.2
Cooperative Memory Management and Collaborative Memory Management Assist Results
