IBM's new Z16 machine brings with it 22 new machine instructions as well as 16 new extended mnemonics. We have just published DBC-2206D to add support into z/XDC for formatting and displaying these new instructions.
The new instructions include:
- NNPA for accessing the AI coprocessor,
- LBEAR, STBEAR and LPSWEY for managing the Breaking Event Register,
- SORTL for directing complex sorts,
- as well as several vector related instructions.
In addition, a few formatting errors for existing instructions were discovered and fixed as a part of this update. In particular, I would like to thank Eric Johnson of Broadcom for bringing one of those errors (CGDR) to our attention.
