A pair of trained neural networks are used as mapping functions to translate the published LSPR benchmarks between the zOS 1.4 and OS/390 v2.10 benchmark sets. The z890 and z990 machines are not represented in the OS/390 v2.10 benchmarks, and the neural networks provide an estimate of the z890 and z990 performance under the old benchmarks. Capacity planners can provide a capacity estimate of these processors directly comparable to the older pre-zSeries machines that are being replaced by using previously validated LSPR workload distributions along with these neural networks. The z800 and z900 machines are present in both sets of benchmarks and are used as the training sets for the neural networks.
