I look at that page and I see 9 different models under the 1-way column for the Z9BC S07. I thought the -way was equivilent to number of engines ??? I thought the increasing models in the -way column would represent decreasing impairment of the processor until you get to the last row which is full speed ??? I'll take an MSU number. I just want to know what relative speed each engine is. I'll check out the z9-109 and see if I can find anything useful there too. > >>How granular is the step ??? > >Each engine added is a step. >That's the granularity. > But what MSU/MIP value is assigned to an engine ??? And if that were true, there would have to be 84 engines in the S07 machine. How can that be correct if it is previously stated that there are 8 processors in each machine ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
