Active Memory Expansion Update

Please watch the earlier AME video before this one if you want to understand how it works. AME now supports 64 KB pages and by using the POWER8 and POWER9 hardware chip features the main CPU cycles used for AME are drastically reduced. Plus the cost has not changed even if the memory sizes have grown by 16 times in 10 years, thus making AME a true bargain. - - - - - - Links - - - - - - - Previous AME video https://youtu.be/W85ZRln-2hA AIX Enhancements Redbook http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248453.pdf Active Memory Expansion feature https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/performance/intro_ame_process.html amepat command manual page https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/a_commands/amepat.html Nigel Griffiths’ AIXpertBlog updated 2020 https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-active-memory-expansion-ame Mahmoud M.
