My immediate management is asking me how to convert measured user task CPU seconds saved in a MIPS reduction project to a MIPS value for reporting to executive management. Yes, we do know what MIPS means (Meaningless . . . ), but this is what they believe executive management wants to hear.
Is there a reasonably simple formula that can be used? I have a current version of IPLINFO available, which reports total MIPS and SU's-per-sec-per-CP for a CEC, so if I did the following calculation would it at least be close to a reasonably accurate MIPS value (FSVO "accurate")? MIPS-per-CP = (IPLINFO MIPS per CEC) / general-CPs-online-to-CEC Measured-CPU-seconds-saved * MIPS-per-CP = MIPS-saved Or would it be more accurate (again, FSVO "accurate") to report SU's saved by calculating: Measured-CPU-seconds-saved * IPLINFO-SU's-per-sec = SU's-saved TIA for any help or advice you can offer.
