Speaker(s):
Keith Zblewski IBM Corporation


The IBM System i5 with POWER5 and POWER5+ processor technology can achieve tremendous gains in performance vs. previous iSeries systems. Learn why System i5 is a better performer than previous systems and how you can take
advantage of the latest features to get the most out of your system. Learn about new configuration options and system values that contribute to better performance and find out how the new Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) architecture can benefit your applications. Understand how to manage important LPAR features such as shared and uncapped processors for optimal performance.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Understand the architecture improvements of the System i5 that contribute to better performance.
2. Learn configuration options for SMT and LPAR to optimize performance.
3. Understand processor utilization when using uncapped processors.
