In this case, i am having an application which takes CPU speed from /proc/cpuinfo and displays it on the screen. This application has been developed on Intel Linux where it is very easy to get the CPU speed in MHz. Now, i am trying to port the same application to Linux on zSeries. As you know, /proc/cpuinfo remains to be one of the major porting issues for porting applications to Linux on mainframe (Since the format has changed).

I am trying to find out other ways of getting this particular MIPS information with in Linux so that my application can access the same and print it on the screen.

Can further investigation into VMSTAT, TOP outputs help in getting the CPU speed information ?

All inputs and ideas are welcome.

Regards,
Srinivas.

Is there some reason what that number is important to you?  I've been doing
working with Linux/390 for 4 years now, and I've never much cared.
Depending on what processor type (G5, G6, z990, etc.), it is somewhere in
the range of 200MHz to 700Mhz, if all you're interested in is clock speed.
IBM publishes MSU ratings for their various processor types, if you're
interested in that.

Hello,

We have SuSE 8.1 for zSeries 31 bit installed in an LPAR. Am trying to get
the CPU speed information from Linux.
I have verified /proc/cpuinfo file to get the CPU speed. But the format has
been changed for Linux on zSeries as compared to Linux on Intel.
Is there any way to get the CPU speed information on Linux for zSeries ?


Regards,
Srinivas.
