ISO CPU speed meter for Solaris (like bogomips in Linux)

CPU speed meter for Solaris (like bogomips in Linux)

Wondering if there is any kind of tool that gives an idea of CPU speed.
Looking for something at least reasonably standard (could, of course, roll
my own if necessary), but would be willing to go the download it, compile
it route if necessary.

In Linux, you can do: cat /proc/cpuinfo and read off the bogomips value.

$ psrinfo -v
Status of processor 0 as of: 04/19/05 13:31:42
Processor has been on-line since 03/04/05 09:25:34.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 296 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
Status of processor 1 as of: 04/19/05 13:31:42
Processor has been on-line since 03/04/05 09:25:37.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 296 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.



Hope this helps,

Bogomips are totally useless for comparing CPU throughput. Bogomips is
effectively just comparing MHz. As Sean Burke points out, if you want
to do this on Solaris you can just compare MHz values via psrinfo. But,
just like bogomips, this is a horrible way to compare CPUs.

I'd advise trying to find a useful application benchmark if you want to
have a meaningful comparison between CPUs. But even a artificial
benchmark like SPECint is better than comparing bogomips or MHz.

I used to compile and run bogomips on solaris as a standalone
binary.

Is that hard to do?

No, just find the source! It compiles on anything IIRC.
