The MSUs you're talking about are just a way for IBM to hold down the cost of its software as the size of the processors increase. The ratio between this MSU value and processor power changes with each new processor version. They aren't really a very good tool for performance determination or capacity planning.
Having said that, I don't know of anyway to determine the MSUs used by an individual address space except to do your own calculations. For example, we have a z9-BC of 1004 MIPS or 138 MSUs. Therefore 100% of the machine is 138 MSUs. I'd have to determine the CPU percent used by the address space and then multiply the by 138 to determine the MSUs used. I think that's correct. However, I think I have to think this out again, as Fagin would say.
