Comments

  • This APAR provides new and updated performance reports in
    Performance Toolkit for z/VM. The new reports provide
    Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) metrics and user processor
    time metrics for z/VM systems with SMT enabled.
    
    The following are new reports/commands:
      - FCX331 MTCTYPLG (SMT Metrics Per Core Type Log)
          - Shows SMT data for each core type.
      - FCX332 MTCORELG (SMT Metrics Per Core Log)
          - Shows SMT data for each core.
      - FCX333 USRPRCTM (User Processor Time)
          - Shows calculated raw time, MT1-equivalent time,
            and prorated core time for each user with activity
            on virtual IFL processors.
      - FCX334 USRTMLOG (User Processor Time Log)
          - Shows a "by time" log of a benchmarked user's
            processor time on virtual IFL processors.
    
    The following reports/commands are modified:
      - FCX124 MENU
          - New entry to select User Processor Time (USRPRCTM)
      - FCX154 SYSSET
          - Removed the multithreading line and multithreading
            settings table.
      - FCX180 SYSCONF
          - Added the multithreading settings table.
          - Added "SMT Configuration change" indications to the
            "Changed System Status" section of the report.
      - FCX234 PROCCONF
          - Changed headers to reference Physical Cores.
          - Changed heading from "Second Level Configuration"
            to "Virtual Configuration".
      - FCX236 PROCMENU
          - Changed the description on the PROCCONF selection.
      - FCX325 CPUMENU
          - New entries to select SMT Metrics Per Core Log
            (MTCORELG) and SMT Metrics Per Core Type Log
            (MTCTYPLG).
    
    The "z/VM: Performance Toolkit Guide" (SC24-6302-03-03),
    the "z/VM: Performance Toolkit Reference" (SC24-6303-03), and
    the HELP files for the functions listed above are updated
    for the new support.
