: I need to move some applications (ADABAS/NATURAL) running on
: VAX7640 (OPENVMS) to UNIX platform.  We have got some figure 
: on the application load in terms of VUPS. Is there any conversion
: metric for conversion to the SPEC95 type of performance figure. 
: This is more for us to gauge the range of servers required. 

   Based on the SPEC95 ratings for VAX processors with known VUPS
   ratings, you should be able to draw your own performance
   comparision.  (The original 1989 SPEC benchmarks gave a unit of
   `1' to the VAX-11/780, the same as the VUP rating...)

   More specifically, the database vendor should be involved in
   this, as the database application is more relevent to your
   performance requirements.
