VAX MIPS
VUP
<benchmark> (Or VAX Unit of Performance, VUP) The processing
power normally attributed to a {Digital Equipment Corporation}
{VAX} 11/780. Future VAX systems were rated according to this
scale (e.g. VAX 8350's being 2.7 VUPs per CPU). A {MicroVAX}
II is normally associated with 0.9 VUPs and at a later time
the MicroVUP was coined to rate VAX {workstations}. The use
of the VUP by Digital Equipment Corporation has been replaced
with more standard benchmarks ({SPECint} and {SPECfp}) in the
{DEC Alpha} processor systems.
