I wouldn't trust any conversion chart that exists or what anyone says is the
conversion ratio. There is no accurate way to convert MIPS to GHz.
My suggestion would be to take a representative workload on the virtual
Linux servers and run a POC on the IFL. You should measure the cpu usage on
the Linux servers and on the IFL and then you can estimate how much IFL CPU
capacity you would need to support your Linux workload.

Subject: Is there a MIPS to Ghs conversion table or vise vera; we would like
to move several Linix servers to an IFL
Google is not very helpful.
1. What is the Mps to Ghz conversion for our mainframe - i.e. we have a
2094-S08 505 processor for mainframe applications that has 1,721 MIPS.
2. How many virtual Linux servers would a zO8 IFL support with a
Quad(4)/Quad(4)/2.4 Ghz configuration?
