With this release, users will achieve substantial reductions in elapsed time and CPU time through SyncSort's ability to offload certain sort processes to a zIIP processor and SyncSort's effective use of the z9's(TM) MIDAW facility.
These performance gains derive from exploitation of the z9's(TM) MIDAW I/O technology -- reducing channel, director, and control unit overhead -- and the System z9(TM) Integrated Information Processor (zIIP), both of which are available on IBM System z9(TM) Enterprise Class (z9-109) and IBM System z9(TM) Business Class processors.
