  IBM System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP)
zAAPs are designed to operate asynchronously with the general processors to execute Java programming under control of the IBM Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
For example, use of zAAPs could reduce the number of TCP/IP programming stacks, firewalls, and physical interconnections (and their associated processing latencies) that might otherwise be required when the application servers and their database servers are deployed on separate physical server platforms.
Conceptually, zAAPs are very similar to a System Assist Processor (SAP); they cannot execute an Initial Program Load and can only assist the general purpose Central Processors (CPs) for the execution of Java programming under control of the IBM JVM.

 Zaap - Dofus - a Wikia wiki
Zaaps are gates that allow instant travel to other zaaps for a small fee.
If you choose "Save" from the zaap menu, the zaap will be recorded as your "save point." Whenever death occurs or you surrender a battle, if you don't become a ghost, you will return to the last saved zaap.
Zaap prices are based on the distance between the zaaps, using the integer value of a straight line (hypotenuse in right angle triangle) between the zaaps.

 IT In-Depth: zAAP by Anura Guruge
A zAAP thus minimizes JVM relates processing cycles that have to be performed by a CP.
Given that the performance gains possible with a zAAP are contingent on the nature of your Java workload, IBM provides various estimation tools to help you determine what kind of ‘zap’ you could expect with a zAAP.
The bottom line here is that a zAAP, even at $125K, is less costly than a zSeries general CP (which, alak, is not something you want to dwell upon for too long because it really drives home the fact that mainframes, even in CMOS, are still kind of costly).

 Definition of ZAAP
zAAP is the zSeries Application Assist Processor, a new mainframe processor introduced by IBM in 2004.
This deployment is probably a mainframe record for speed of adoption, since IBM only began its zAAP design project in 2003.
zAAP is not the first processor technology dedicated to a specific programming language or even to Java.

 Three decades after the 1st rumours, the IBM mainframe offload engine appears - first Java, then DB2
IBM's z/OS Performance: Capacity Planning Considerations for zAAP Processors, pp 2,4 seems to confirm the normal z/OS dispatcher is used as the switching mechanism, with an overhead ceiling very roughly guestimated at 5% but likely to be much lower.
The zAAP introduces a completely new situation - CPU seconds consumed in a zAAP are normalised to the power of the standard CPUs, so a z890 6210 with two zAAPs could record many more CPU seconds than elapsed time multiplied by the total number of processors - making for an interesting capture ratio.
The zAAP, like the IFL, has a nominal unit price across hardware generations of $125k, though IFLs have been heavily discounted in recent months and the purchase price is not the whole story - maintenance is often significant, as with the z800 0E1.

 MIS | Technology market: zIIP up or zAAP out
They are also the latest in a series of specialty processor engines (or offload engines) dating back to 1986 that are designed to take over part of the workload from general-purpose processors within the zSeries complex.
This last services element is the key to success in the SME market whether the prospect is in China or Bourke.
This SAP packaging will not be the last solution offering based on z/OS, and zIIP and zAAP are very likely to be joined before 2009 by other specialty engines for other workloads such as TCP/IP, XML parsing, web services and even CICS.

In summary, zAAP is a special PU on the zSeries server that the Java workload can be off-loaded to.
When a zAAP processor becomes available, the dispatcher selects the highest-priority work from the zAAP work queue and dispatches it on the zAAP processor.
Using zAAP reduces the MIPS number on general CPs, but the total MIPS number is higher than before.
