I just got an HP9000 K Class K570 server. It's got dual 200Mhz PA-RISC
processors and 1GB RAM, plus some arsenal of hard drives.
I've never worked with HP PA-RISC machines before. What's this equivalent
to in terms of Intel processor power?

I think 200MHz PA-RISC will be pretty close
to the
200MHz pentium pro.

For Interger performance it's slightly better than a Pentium II
350Mhz, and for Floating Point, it's somewhere around a Pentium III
500-550Mhz. The other thing to remember is that the PA-RISC chip is
64-bit. I'm guessing the K570 also weighs a lot more than any normal
Pentium II or Pentium III system :^)

Hi,

According to the SPEC website a K570 1 cpu runs:
SPEC95fp 23.0 SPECint 14.6
if such figures mean anything.
(I've been thinking of playing with a PS-RISC machine myself which is
why I had the figures to hand...)

This particular rev of the PARISC is still 32 bit. The 64 bit machines
did not come until later. The performance sounds about right.
Your HSC-bus peripherals are better than your HPPB. HP had a habit of
making peripherals for the precision bus which could not run at full
speed. The 100Mb ethernet comes to mind as one.

According to
http://www.openpa.net/systems/hawk.html
the K570 has PA8200 CPUs @ 200 MHz. PA8200 == PA-2.0 == 64 bit.
For speed comparision see http://www.openpa.net/bench.html

PA8200, 4 MB cache, supports up to 6 CPUs, TPM 5700 to 21300
max RAM 4GB (may be marketing limit, as PA8200 supports more than 4 GB)
(64-bit PA-RISC)
Fairly old...what's the serial number on back? (A####A#####, or some
such...the first four digits tells us the manufacture week, in standard
HP format (yyww, where yy is 1960 relative) My guess is 5 to 10 years old.
