On April 8^th IBM announced its new generation of the mainframe. The new system is called IBM z17 while the family model is 9175.

In this presentation we will:

have a look at the most important capacity characteristics of the IBM z17;
estimate the MIPS capacity of each IBM z17 processor model starting from the IBM LSPR benchmarks;
compare z17 single CP capacity and workload variability with previous machine generations;
compare z16 and z17 processor cache architecture;
analyse in more detail the new z17 Measurement Facility basic and extended counters provided in SMF 113, using them to calculate the most important indexes to use in performance analysis and capacity planning.
