Notes: Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.

At a recent exclusive briefing to selected industry analysts and editors, Steve Mills, senior vice president for IBM Software Group, shared these mainframe key facts:* 95 percent of the Fortune 1000 enterprises use IMS, originally written in 1968

to support NASA's Apollo moon landing program.* 25 of the world's top 25 banks, 23 of the top 25 US retailers and

9 out of 10 of the world's largest insurance companies run DB2 for z/OS* 490 of IBM's top 500 customers run CICS.* IBM's CICS handles more than 30 billion transactions a day. * IBM has 50,000 CICS customer licenses, and 16,000 customers.* There are more than 950,000 CICS application programmers.* Continuing demand growth from emerging markets

IBM Student Mainframe Contest

No experience with mainframes is necessaryPart 1: Breaking the ice - Designed to get students comfortable with navigating the mainframe user interface, as well as to introduce them to some basic mainframe concepts

Part 2: Practical experience - Using the skills they learned in Part 1, students perform some more extensive systems programmer-type tasks.

Part 3: Real world challenge - Requires extensive work from the student and the tasks are taken from real-life situations encountered by experienced systems programmers.

Mainframe Contest in the UK40+ Individual UniversitiesMore than 720 UK students registered with the highest number of entrants coming from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Manchester, Kent, Leeds, Portsmouth and Sheffield all fielded high numbersThe winning three places went to students from Leeds, Edinburgh and Oxford.
