Just out of curiosity, is the 38 MIPS figure a recent adjustment? From August 2008 to April 2009, IBM Japan has consistently told us the figure was 26 MIPS.

It is a one-way machine rated at 6 MSUs (Group 38) and about 38 MIPS. Assuming that machine configuration currently provides sufficient capacity, the most appropriate replacement models probably include the System z9 BC Model B01 (only 5 MSUs and about 38 MIPS) and the System z10 BC Model C01 (only 5 MSUs and about 38 MIPS). (The z10 would be preferable since it offers smaller capacity increments, along with other technology improvements.) Another possible option is the System z10 BC Model A02, a two-way machine with 6 MSUs and about 48 MIPS, if a two-way machine would be more appropriate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
