it's a made up speed rating bogo as in the excellent adventures of bill and Ted bogus dude MIPS as in Million of Instructions per Second On Sunday 16 September 2001 13:21, you wrote: Does anyone knows what are these?

RE: [newbie] BogoMIPS
MIPS = Millions of Instructions Per Second BogoMIPS is a calculation of approximately how many instructions per second your CPU is capable of executing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kenneth Efurd Sent: Monday, August 09, 1999 7:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] BogoMIPS What exactly does that mean the BogoMIPS, mine says 666.95? whats that all about?
Re: [newbie] BogoMIPS
Does anyone have any kind of idea what reading i should expect from my box please. Is it likely to roughly translate to the speed of your processor ?? My PIII 450 gives out approx 453BMIPS - i expected considerably more than this as i've seen 450 from a Dell 233 system before. Finally, does it matter ? Or should i take this as an indication of a problem ?

RE: [newbie] BogoMIPS
remember the name BOGOmips. bogo as in bogus mabye? different processors give wildly different results. an amd 233 will give a much different result when compared to a pentium 233. don't worry about it. jason -Original Message- From: Martin White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 08, 1999 11:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] BogoMIPS Does anyone have any kind of idea what reading i should expect from my box please.

This is from the Linux User Guide: --- A "MIP" stands for a million instructions per second, and a "BogoMIP" is a "bogus MIP": how many times the computer can do absolutely nothing in one second. (Since this loop doesn't actually do anything, the number is not actually a measure of how fast the system is.) Linux uses this number when it needs to wait for a hardware device. --- Hope that helps. -Tom

I figured that it didn't really matter - bottom line is the machine's plenty quick enough !! Thanks anyway.

Re: [newbie] BogoMIPS
The only time a BOGOMips value should worry you, is if it's suddenly significantly different from normal one day when you boot up. (And not even always then on a laptop.) - Theo Bernhard Rosenkraenzer wrote: On Sun, 8 Aug 1999, Martin White wrote: My PIII 450 gives out approx 453BMIPS - i expected considerably more than this as i've seen 450 from a Dell 233 system before.
