OverviewThings to Considerz/CMSTPF From Here to ThereTPF/IDE From Here to There

Why Are People Going There (to z/TPF)?There looks more interesting and powerful64-bitGet to really use z machine in z modeMore storage availableAccess to storage above 2 GB lineOpen source emphasisNew compilerNew tools/environmentBut theres one more reason for going thereHere is disappearingHave to go somewhereW e l c o m e t o H o l l y w o o d !

Things to ConsiderWhen GoingFrom Here to ThereMalibuHollywood

Here-to-There Considerations1. How will you survive the trip there? What kind of migration tools will you use to ensure a successful trip?the trip can be very, very bad.Even when the goal is good

Here-to-There Considerations2. What will your world be like once you get there?How different? (Different not necessarily bad)What will I need in the new world?Will my existing tools still work or adapt?What great new tools will I have?Will my existing libraries still work?What new libraries do I need?Etc.

Here-to-There Considerations3. What unforeseen problems will you experience there?What unintended consequences will you run into?When McDonalds developed super-size fries they intended A.ABBut they also got B.

z/CMSTPF From Here to There

z/CMSTPFz/CMSTPF for TPF 4.1Migration to z/TPF z/CMSTPF for z/TPFTesting of z/TPF applications Address resource utilization

Virtual TPF TechnologyBreakthrough IdeaEmulate TPF operating system using CMSMajor AdvantageOne virtual TPF system per programmer/testerProgram IsolationDatabase IsolationProductivityEnd Result 1000 CMSTPF users with minimal impact

Program & Database IsolationThe keys to any testing...My program, My dataCompletely controlled environmentHelps recreate problemsPrevents other people from interrupting my testingProgram ABCDABCD

ABCDABCDPrivate Database

Quality CheckingWhole system designed with programmer in mindEnforce the architecturez/CMSTPF is a lot smarter and more programmer-friendly than a real TPF could ever beHelps programmers detect and avoid errors that usually show up later in production code!CMSTPF

Ensuring a Successful Journey with z/CMSTPFNew migration featuresWhile still running in TPF 4.1 modeDefine areas above the 2 GB lineDefine programs to run as 64 bitDefine programs that run without a base registerIdentify and log programs that go into 24 bit address modeEtc. (as we identify new features)Discover and eliminate problems before you go to z/TPF

Unintended Consequences for Testingz/TPF ApplicationsCurrently (in TPF) large tables are in the 100 megabytes range Each VPARS you run for testing (e.g. 50) must be large enough to contain those tables

Unintended Consequences for Testingz/TPF ApplicationsIn z/TPF, users will define huge tables 10, 20, 40 GIGABYTESMultiply by number of VPARS exponentially more memoryThat means: VM paging, slower startup, increased hardware costEventually, lower productivity

Avoid Resource Problems by using z/CMSTPFCMSTPF has always shared large tables among usersIf a 100 Megabyte table is defined, we dont have to allocate one for each userJust one is enough for 1000 programmers to share Real 100 Megabyte Table

Avoid Resource Problems by using z/CMSTPFHuge tables (20 GIGABYTE) under z/TPF will also be sharedPrivate systems under z/CMSTPF remain smallVM performance much better no pagingReduces cost to run multiple z/TPF test systems20 GIGABYTE Table
