Virtual Memory



As stated on the previous slide, the high end z15 Processor can support up 40TBs of memory, that is real physical memory.

Virtual Storage, up to 16EBs (that is 16 billion gigabytes) is what any given application is aware of and it can be segregated into three specific areas;

  • 24-bit Addressable

  • 31-bit Addressable

  • 64-bit Addressable


See more information on addressing.
