z/VM Large Memory - Linux on System z

This report analyzes the results observed with Linux guests running a database server under online transaction processing (OLTP) workload in a z/VM environment using a relatively large amount of main memory (80 GB). Additionally, the amount of virtual memory was increased to use two times more virtual memory than physically available (memory overcommitment).
