Most MIPS charts are expensive spreadsheets that simply duplicate what is already available from the IBM LSPR.
Unless the provider of such a chart is running their own benchmarks, they are largely nonsense.

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/adm inis tering_tamit/c_capacity_units.html Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Greg Dyck > Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2016 12:54 PM > To: [email protected] > 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.
