I will give the link a try. Thanks.

My typing doesn't get any better as I age. Make that a 2094-507.

I know that the question will seem either meaningless or
disgusting to some, but I have to ask anyway.
We have some questions about MIPS consumed by VM and Linux from
management. They want numbers based on the cost of the MP effect by
operating system, expecting different numbers for VM than for Linux (I
haven't yet said anything about considering real MP effect for VM and
virtual MP effect for guests having more than 1 virtual cpu). Is there
any acceptable way to convert CPU Model and number of engines into MIPS?
For example, our main VM system, one that has no Linux guests, runs in
a 7-cpu LPAR on a 2084-507, while there are two LPARS on the same CEC,
sharing 3 IFLs, running Linux under VM.
