The popularity of the Internet and the affordability of information technology (IT) hardware and software have resulted in an explosion dramatic increase in the number of applications, architectures, and platforms. Workloads have changed. Many applications, including mission-critical ones, are deployed on a variety of platforms, and the IBM® System z® design has adapted to this change. It takes into account a wide range of factors, including compatibility and investment protection, to match the IT requirements of an enterprise. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides information about the IBM zEnterprise® BC12 (zBC12), an IBM scalable mainframe server. IBM is taking a revolutionary appro...

This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides introductory, planning, migration, and management information about InfiniBand coupling links on IBM System z® servers. The book will help you plan and implement the migration from earlier coupling links (ISC3 and ICB4) to InfiniBand coupling links. It provides step-by-step information about configuring InfiniBand connections. Information is also provided about the performance of InfiniBand links compared to other link types. This book is intended for systems programmers, data center planners, and systems engineers. It introduces and explains InfiniBand terminology to help you understand the InfiniBand implementation on System z servers. It also serves as a basis for configuration planning and management.
Wer Industrie 4.0 sagt, meint Internet oder auch IoT und wer IoT sagt, meint auch Ethernet. Alle drei Begriffe sind eng miteinander verbunden. Das Buch zeigt die geschichtliche Entwicklung und die Technische Entwicklung von Hardware, Software sowie Protokolle von Ethernet über Internet (IoT) bis hin zu OPC UA, der heute besten plattformunabhängigen Kommunikationsvernetzung. Ein Fokus von Industrie 4.0 ist die Betrachtung und Einordnung der Künstlichen Intelligenz und der Prädiktiven Wartung . Es werden Beispiele für Vernetzungstopologien von der Fabrikebene über die SPS-Ebene, SCADA/HMI-Ebene MES bis hin zur ERP-Ebene erläutert. Schwerpunkte sind Feldbusse, Internet und Ethernet TCP/IP. Es werden die verschiedenen Ethernet/Internet- und echtzeitfähigen Feldbusse wie PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP sowie deren Implementierung erläutert. Thema sind horizontale und vertikale Kommunikationsstrukturen, Feldbusse und Kommunikationsprotokolle gemäß des OSI-Modells und der Automatisierungspyramide gezeigt und wie diese in modernen Industrieanwendungen Eingang finden.
This study draws together various elements in late Ming culture – illustration, theater, literature – and examines their interrelation in the context of the publication of drama. It examines a late Ming conception of the stage as a mystical space in which the past was literally reborn within the present. This temporal conflation allowed the past to serve as a vigorous and immediate moral example and was considered a hugely important mechanism by which the continuity of the Confucian tradition could be upheld. By using theatrical conventions of stage arrangement, acting gesture, and frontal address, drama illustration recreated the mystical character of the stage within the pages of the book, and thus set the conflation of past and present on a broader footing.
This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes the new member of the IBM Z® family, IBM z14TM. IBM z14 is the trusted enterprise platform for pervasive encryption, integrating data, transactions, and insights into the data. A data-centric infrastructure must always be available with a 99.999% or better availability, have flawless data integrity, and be secured from misuse. It also must be an integrated infrastructure that can support new applications. Finally, it must have integrated capabilities that can provide new mobile capabilities with real-time analytics that are delivered by a secure cloud infrastructure. IBM z14 servers are designed with improved scalability, performance, security, re...
A first look at gunpowder's revolutionary impact on China's role in global history The Chinese invented gunpowder and began exploring its military uses as early as the 900s, four centuries before the technology passed to the West. But by the early 1800s, China had fallen so far behind the West in gunpowder warfare that it was easily defeated by Britain in the Opium War of 1839–42. What happened? In The Gunpowder Age, Tonio Andrade offers a compelling new answer, opening a fresh perspective on a key question of world history: why did the countries of western Europe surge to global importance starting in the 1500s while China slipped behind? Historians have long argued that gunpowder weapons...
