Hello

How do I parse the identification field in /proc/cpuinfo? The other ones
I understand. The one I have access to says "processor 0: version = FF,
identification = 035667,  machine = 9672"

I am trying to estimate the performance of our application on different
S390/zSeries systems, and for the CPU bound parts I am interested in not
only the "MIPS rating" and "MHZ rating" but also things like:

-- How "good" is the S390 backend of gcc compared to, say, IA32?

-- Cache sizes and speeds (bw and lat) for the different levels of
cache? (I could use lmbench, but I only have access to one CPU)

-- Issue width, pipeline stages, and similar micro-arch information.
(this is mostly for personal interest, I will probably not code any
custom assembly for S390, and we have none for other platforms)

Right now my Intel P3 733 is 10 times faster than the Linux guest :-(
(But this will change :-))

Regards    Erik
