Performance of Migrated HP e3000 Applications

Processor Speed
• To compare older HP e3000s with PA-RISC HP-UX
servers, multiply the “MPE/iX Relative Performance
Units” of the HP e3000 server by 25.
• This gives you a very rough estimate of the processing speed
equivalent for the HP e3000 system.
• For example, a 979-300 is rated at 19.5 MPE/iX units.
You can approximate it as 500MHz (19.5 times 25).
• If you migrated this system to a 750MHz HP-UX server,
you should gain roughly 50% in raw processing speed.
