**sooo** much effort:
I didn't expect the command procedure to be as good as the real benchmarks
but given that the benchmarks are hardly likely to be available for end
users I was just interested to see if this command procedure was of any
use. At least you can run it on any VMS box.
According to this proc, the machines
I can reach right now report:
VAXstation 4000-90A: 26.0 bogoVUPs (should be 32+ VUPs)
VAX 4000-700A: 30.8 bogoVUPs (should be ~40 VUPs)
VAX 4000-705A: 34.4 bogoVUPs (should be ~45 VUPs)
Alpha 2100 4/200: 35.2 bogoVUPs
Takara (EV56@500MHz): 87.2 bogoVUPs
Well it's in the ball park, though it looks like it's giving only about 75%
of the accepted VUP rating.
