This environment is sufficiently storage constrained that there is heavy paging to expanded storage and moderate paging to DASD.
The measurement results are summarized in the following two tables. The first table contains the absolute results, while the second table show the results as ratios relative to the VM/ESA 2.4.0 base case. Performance terms in the tables are defined in the glossary.
The results show that the total processing requirements (PBT/CMD (H)) of z/VM 3.1.0 with 31-bit CP are equivalent to VM/ESA 2.4.0. The total processing requirements of z/VM 3.1.0 with 64-bit CP are about 0.8% higher as the result of a 5.2% increase in CP CPU time (CP/CMD (H)).
A number of CP control blocks had to be extended for the 64-bit support, resulting in an increase in CP free storage requirements (FREEPGS). Many of these control blocks are used in common by both the 31-bit and 64-bit versions. That is why CP free storage requirements also show increases for z/VM 3.1.0 31-bit CP case.
The z/VM 3.1.0 results reflect the presence of the Rexx runtime improvement (see Miscellaneous CMS Improvements), which reduces total CPU time per command by about 0.2% for this workload. Most of this reduction is in CP.
