Dear listers I am aware of the MIPS calculation, based on RMCTADJC which is described as follows: (source:http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/index.jsp? topic=/com.ibm.itcamwas.doc/userguide201.htm 1. Get RMCTADJC from the RMCT data area. 2. Compute service units per CPU second SU=16000000/RMCTADJC. 3. Estimate the number of MIPS per CPU by SU/48.5 (*). 4. Finally compute the estimated MIPS power of the MVS machine by multiplying by the number of CPUs. (*) factor from formula (Thierry Fallissard) I adjusted the factor from 48.5 to 52.1 (z9 2094-708) resp. 57.7 (z10 2097- 608), using the published MIPS of 3926 resp. 4162. I know that other MIPS values exist. RMCTADJC is 626 resp. 533.
But now, a colleague pointed me to RCTPCPUA, which is described as: Physical CPU adjustment factor (i.e. adjustment factor for converting CPU time to equivalent service in basic-mode with all processors online). The values of this field are 866 resp. 901. Does anybody know the difference between the RMCT- and the RCT- field and the the correlation of the values?
