John,
in the past I was also asked to rate HP3000 system in MIPS ... but this
means MEANINGLESS INDICATOR OF PROCESSOR SPEED and is still used in the
blue world ;-)
I convinced my mgt that HP rates relational to 947 systems (these are
the factors HP communicates).
For HP9000's HP started a different way ... but the HPUX colleaguaes
already are gone today so I cannot not ask for details today.
If you need more information just let me know.
Best regards, Andreas
