Along those lines, here are a couple of links I found using an internet for IBM Calculating MIPs and Service Units
It would also help to understand what you are trying to do with MIPS. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bit.listserv.ibm-main/5ZIiozkVWZs http://ibmmainframes.com/about42940.html You may want to look more at Service Units or normalized reporting. I can run an IEBGENER to Print a SYSLOG file with 10,000,000 lines. My MIPS or SUs may vary across each iterating. If I change the CEC, it may change again, if I have more CPs or less, it may change again. It can be difficult to get a repeatable report of MIPs. http://www.ibmmainframeforum.com/all-other-tools/topic1988.html Postby Bill Dennis > Mon Jun 15, 2009 6:19 am The MIPS rating is based on processor type and Operating System. Performance guru Cheryl Watson offers several charts at http://www.watsonwalker.com/chart.html I'm not sure why you care about CPU MIPS rating because chargeback is usually by CPU time or Service Units used. Your job will run in less time on a faster CPU but the chargeback per second is usually more. Likewise, fewer Service Units are used on a faster CPU. So, knowing what you are trying to report would be helpful. Also, this may help. This is a specific product, but the terms and concepts may help (or not) http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8CCV_7.5.1/com.ibm.mams.doc/adminis tering_tamit/c_capacity_units.html Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of Greg Dyck > Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2016 12:54 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: MIPS Calculation formula > > > Is there some formula to calculate a MIPS usage from the next kind of data- > source and volumes estimation: > > Keep in mind that MIPS stands for "Meaningless Indicator of Processor > Speed"... long used, usually misunderstood, and often abused.
