Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is a technique for increasing the
efficiency of CPUs to deliver more throughput per processor core. It has
been exploited on IBM POWER Systems and Intel processors for several years
but not yet implemented on IBM System z mainframe processors. However, there
have been signals that SMT will be available on the next System z machine.
If this happens, we should understand SMT, how it might be implemented on
the mainframe, and what it means to mainframe installations. In these
webcasts, Bob Rogers, retired IBM Distinguished Engineer, will provide the
historical background and future prognostication to provide insight into
this technology before it appears for z/OS and zLinux systems. Webcasts are
scheduled for Tuesday, January 13 at 2 pm EST (11 am PST) or Thursday,
January 15 at 2 pm EST (11 am PST). Registration link at
