System
z9
Application
Assist
Processor
(zAAP)
The
Application
Assist
Processor
(zAAP)
is
available
on
the
System
z9.
This
specialized
processing
unit
provides
an
economical
Java
execution
environment
for
customers
who
desire
the
traditional
Qualities
of
Service
and
the
integration
advantages
of
the
System
z9
platform.
The
System
z9
Application
Assist
Processor
is
also
known
as
an
IFA
(Integrated
Facility
for
Applications).
The
term
IFA
appears
in
panels,
messages,
and
other
z/OS
information
relating
to
the
System
z9
Application
Assist
Processor,
including
this
publication.
When
configured
with
general
purpose
processors
within
logical
partitions
running
z/OS,
zAAPs
may
help
increase
general
purpose
processor
productivity
and
may
contribute
to
lowering
the
overall
cost
of
computing
for
z/OS
Java
technology-based
applications.
zAAPs
are
designed
to
operate
asynchronously
with
the
general
processors
to
execute
Java
programming
under
control
of
the
IBM
Java
Virtual
Machine
(JVM).
This
can
help
reduce
the
demands
and
capacity
requirements
on
general
purpose
processors
which
may
then
be
available
for
reallocation
to
other
System
z9
workloads.
The
IBM
JVM
processing
cycles
can
be
executed
on
the
configured
zAAPs
with
no
anticipated
modifications
to
the
Java
application(s).
Execution
of
the
JVM
processing
cycles
on
the
zAAP
is
a
function
of
the
Software
Developer’s
Kit
(SDK)
1.4.1
for
zSeries,
z/OS
1.6
or
later,
and
PR/SM.
The
amount
of
general
purpose
processor
savings
will
vary
based
on
the
amount
of
Java
application
code
executed
by
zAAP(s).
This
is
dependent
upon
the
amount
of
Java
cycles
used
by
the
relevant
application(s)
and
on
the
zAAP
execution
mode
selected
by
the
customer.
Execution
of
the
Java
applications
on
zAAPs,
within
the
same
z/OS
logical
partition
as
their
associated
database
subsystems,
can
also
help
simplify
the
server
infrastructure
and
improve
operational
efficiencies.
For
example,
use
of
zAAPs
could
reduce
the
number
of
TCP/IP
programming
stacks,
firewalls,
and
physical
interconnections
(and
their
associated
processing)
that
might
otherwise
be
required
when
the
application
servers
and
their
database
servers
are
deployed
on
separate
physical
server
platforms.
IBM
does
not
impose
software
charges
on
zAAP
capacity.
Additional
IBM
software
charges
will
apply
when
additional
general
purpose
CP
capacity
is
used.
Customers
are
encouraged
to
contact
their
specific
ISVs/USVs
directly
to
determine
if
their
charges
will
be
affected.
On
System
z9
models,
you
can
purchase
and
install
one
or
more
Integrated
Facility
for
Applications
(IFA)
features
with
no
effect
on
the
model
designation.
Consequently,
no
additional
IBM
operating
system
or
middleware
charges
are
incurred
with
the
addition
of
this
capacity
unless
that
software
is
actually
running
in
2-60
