Based on what are you making above claim? >My question is, what criteria could I use if I wanted to make a simple graph? >MIPS is the only thing I can think of, and if it is, would I use the maximum >MIPS for every model? 360, 370, 4341, up to z10, and so on. I believe Cheryl Watson is maintaining such a list, but before you compare such models, you should use the SAME quantity of CPU (engines) and also try to have everything else more or less the same (memory, operating system, workload mix, etc.) for a more useful comparision. That is, if you still want to use MIPS to use for comparision. >This is just a curiosity, and thanks in advance for any input. I think others may also offer something besides MIPS for comparision metrics. Good luck. I hope you get your goals.
