Performance
Some of the machines are described in terms of VUPs
(VAX Units of Performance).
This is 1 for a VAX-11/780 and was considered
1 million instructions per second (1 MIPS).
I have attempted to extrapolate from DEC VUPs to SPECmarks of
various types.
Naming Convention
I am using the planets and moons of our
solar system.
So far I am up through atlas.
I have reserved pluto for the PDP8/e,
and titan for the PDP-11/40.
I just have to figure out how to get them onto the network.
The next several machines will be:
The names of solar system objects and the names of Greek and Roman gods seem to
be about the same.
