Lorne: IFLs (Integrated facility for Linux) and ICFs (integrated coupling facilities) processors always run at rated speed. So in MIPs (which of course are meaningless) the IFLs and ICFs on a z800 run around 190 MIPs. For comparison sake, here are meaningless numbers for all the standard processors on the z800s: CPs Model MIPs 1 0E1 40 (comes with an IFL standard) 1 0A1 80 1 0B1 115 1 0C1 140 1 001 190 2 0X2 170 2 0A2 280 2 002 375 3 003 560 4 004 735 Regards, Jim
