z/VSE 5.1 introduces 64 bit virtual addressing capabilities. Memory objects can now be larger than 2GB in size and accessed using the new IARV64 services compatible with z/OS. This allows z/VSE to address more data by placing it above the 2GB bar while still being limited to 90GB of virtual storage. Programs will need to switch to AMODE 64 to access areas above the bar using instructions like SAM64. Register contents and save areas have also been extended to support 64 bit addressing.
This document provides an agenda for a z/VSE Live Virtual Class in November 2011. The agenda includes discussions of z/VSE roadmap and strategy, new functions in z/VSE 5.1 such as 64-bit virtual addressing and exploitation of IBM zEnterprise systems, and migration considerations for z/VSE 4.3. The class is intended to cover topics including the z/VSE product direction, key functions in the upcoming z/VSE 5.1 release, and 64-bit virtual addressing support.
