I wrote a quick little benchmark yesterday to try to determine the theoretical maximum MIPS. I ran the test under the recently released CentOS 4.1 for S/390. When I ran the test using one processor I was able to hit about 50 MIPS. I then split it into four processes (I have 2 real processors + 2 hyperthreaded) and was able to get 76 MIPS. During actual Linux usage with multiple processors and multitasking I'm usually in the 40 - 60 MIPS range. As I said above, this on a dual 3.0 GHz Xeon system with 2GB RAM now running Fedora Core 4 x86_64. The "benchmark" program is just a little hack but if anyone wants to see it, here's the code: http://timbo87.home.comcast.net/temp/herc/benchmark.c -Tim -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
