VUP ==>
VAX MIPS
<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.
