Hello,

I find shell scripts to test the power (MIPS by ex.) of different AIX
systems.

Thanks for your help,
Christophe LEGAL

"Shell scripts" and "MIPS" are odd partners in that sentence. Do
you mean simply that you are looking for CPU benchmarks that you
can compile (yes, compile) and run on a machine that runs AIX?

Nicholas

If you want to measure potential performance of each machine,
then you really want to benchmark each machine. This is not simple and
is best approached by running the application(s) of direct interest to you.
The age-old "MIPS" or measurement of "millions of instructions per second" is
of little practical value in determining potential machine performance on
applications of interest. It is often snidely referred to as "Meaningless
Index of Performance".

If you want an idea of the hardware on a given system, then "hinv -c processor"
will tell you the basic processor models and clock speeds in the machine.
If you use "hinv -v -c processor" you can also get the size and speed of the
Scache on each processor.

I have 8 different AIX systems on my platform. I want to evaluate their
differences as MIPS and TPM.
I don't know if it's exist some free program to do that. But, if I execute a
same program on my different systems , I can compare them.

Thank's,
Christophe LEGAL

Oops. Wrong group. That is for IRIX.

For aix, "lsdev -C -l proc0" shows little.
"lsattr -E -l proc0 -F'description value' "
shows the processor type such as power3 or power4
and gives processor speed,

"lsattr -E -l sys0' sometimes gives cache sizes.

Miserable Indicator of Processing Speed.

Doing AIX support was the most monty-pythonesque

Eagerly awaiting my thin chocolat mint.
