What sort of tests do you do? I would be happy to
post numbers from my
twin 4000-700As, my 8700 (when I have all the requisite parts), my
6000-610, my 7000-650, my 4000/VLC, my 3100/30, and any other VAXen I have
lying around. I wonder if I could do a VUP test on something other than
VAX and have it mean anything.
I have a VUP program I downloaded from somewhere, but it isn't accurate (for
instance, it only calculates VUPs on one processor of an SMP system). The
real VUP calculator DEC used was a set of programs.
What I use for tests are a few compiles and some other programs and calculate
based on results from a known VUP rating.
I've also tried these tests on an Alpha, but that's apples-to-oranges so
there's really not any correlation.
