10:30 AM Linux, the how to concept
Doctor Robinson - Salomon Smith Barney
Salomon Smith Barney, a member of Citigroup, is a corporate
& investment bank located in the financial district
of lower Manhattan. A Task Force Team was created consisting of
VM/Linux, Unix, Communication, Security and Application personnel
to evaluate Linux on S/390, porting of applications, creating new
applications, security, backup / restore, and connectivity. At
this time we have z/VM running 48 guest images on IFL processors.
Linux S/390 was chosen to provide a stable and reliable
infrastructure for Intranet; Internet; vendor applications
such as DB2-connect, Websphere, SAMBA, CICS/MQ; and in-house
applications; as well as gateway and print server consolidation.
This session will cover the evolution of this installation from
concept to implementation.

11:30 AM LUNCH break
1:00 PM XPLINK
Will Roden of IBM's VM Development organization.
Why is my C, C++ code running slow on z/OS?
It turned out that many cycles were spent going from one
function to another. XPLINK was developed to reduce the
time to call a function.
This is a discussion of how z/OS XPLINK works.
