Something I learned today about the JVM implementations on these IBM environments

• AIX - is the Unix flavor from IBM
• OS/400 is the operating system on AS/400 mostly referred as AS/400
• iSeries is the new name for AS/400 servers
• Z/OS is for mainframe
  

In 64 Bit JVM implementation on iSeries, GC cycle is different and referred as "Stop-the-world" (Synchronous GC) GC cycles. See http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/gcn2_faq.html for the acronym.
