Minimum CPU Requirements - Continued
Submitted by z86VM on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 14:48.
First, to recap: Many have asked about machine requirements for x86 virtualization using z/Vos. On the software side, z/VM 5.4 will be required. On the hardware side of the picture, the machine must be capable of supporting all extended immediate instructions. Some CPU models support these instructions, but at a high price, since hte instructions (some of them) are emulated.
Those requirements in greater detail:
- z/Architecture architectural mode
- Extended-translation facility 2
- Long-displacement facility
- HFP-multiply-and-add/subtract facility (I think)
- General-instructions-extension facility
- Execute-extensions facility
- Floating-point-support-enhancement facilities
- The DFP (decimal-floating-point) facility (future)
