Thanks all for the information that has been provided. This value is not being used anywhere in my application to compute some other value.
So, there is no real need out here.
" So, again, what are you trying to accomplish beyond printing a number in a space? " - Nothing -:)
And the complete irrelevance of this MIPS value in this case is understood.
Thanx once again.
Regards.

> Yeah. But still i want to show some value which represents the CPU
capacity configuration of the machine.
For what purpose? Help us out here -- we're having a really hard time
understanding why you care about this number, other than having
something cool to print out. Do you adjust algorthms based on the
processor speed or type? What purpose is this information intended to
serve?
If you want the physical configuration in a LPAR environment, what's in
/proc/cpuinfo is all there is -- there's no reliable way to get the
information you want, and you can't see the LPAR CPU sharing
configuration from Linux, so any "speed" number you get is completely
useless for your purposes because it can't see or take into account
other workload on the machine. If you are running under VM, you can use
the 'hcp' package to interrogate the virtual machine configuration
directly, but since the underlying assignment of virtual processors to
real CPUs changes by the timeslice and workload present at the given
instance, the numbers are unreliable and again, useless for comparison
purposes.
So, again, what are you trying to accomplish beyond printing a number in
a space?
