I should have (and intended to but forgot) mentioned in my original message that I realized the MIPS number was meaningless. However, it is one of the numbers they asked for so I was trying to provide. I also thought it might be interesting to show a comparison of the AS/400 620 MIPS / dollar versus the MIPS / dollar of the mainframe they seem to be defending. This is all part of a nasty political war where user departments / agencies are sick of the mainframe and the central IT department and a suppossedly impartial (yeah right) consultant has been hired to tell the County Commissioners whether the future is the mainframe or something else. Do any of you kind folks that replied happen to know if the CPW ratings are used on IBM mainframe models... I guess I'll do some hunting tonight. Anyhow, thanks for the responses. --Robert -----Original Message----- From: jpcarr@TREDEGAR.COM <jpcarr@TREDEGAR.COM> To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com> Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 4:32 PM Subject: Re: AS/400 MIPS specifications >I am currently filling out a consultant survey that asks for MIPS rating of our various systems.

Burger The answer is *NULL. Or, "How tall is the Empire State Building, True or False? Any number you use, would be misleading and invalid. It must be a old survey, There are much better measurements now to gauge a machine than MIPS. Java benchmarks, Ramp-C, etc, etc. John Carr +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
