“And now, in early 2008, we have the System z10. The new quad-core design once again radically improves Java’s economics, with Java typically much closer to that “up to 100% improvement” figure than other workloads. So if you roughly double the core Java performance, increase the number of cores to as many as 64 per machine, triple the memory (for those memory-hungry Java applications, to trade memory for CPU), steer work better using HiperDispatch, allow up to 32 of those 64 cores to be license-free zAAPs, and run the whole thing on zNALC-priced z/OS LPARs that enjoy another “technology dividend,” what does that do to the economics?”
