This text gives some information about BogoMips, compiled from various sources such as news and e-mail. This text is retrievable from the various Linux archives in the file HOWTO/mini/BogoMips. Translations are available, as far as I know, in French, Japanese, Italian, German, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Hungarian from appropriate archives. An explanatory article, titled 'the Quintessential Linux Benchmark,' was published in the Linux Journal, issue January 1996. The BogoMips is also explained in The Jargon File. New mini-Howto entries for unlisted CPUs will be highly appreciated. They can be send per e-mail to the author.

Note: during the period February/May 1999 I received very interesting BogoMips information. Unfortunately due to hardware failure (and my additional erroneous behaviour) the archive file of these was lost. So in case you did send me information, but it doesn't show in this file, please send me the data again. I apologize for the misser. WvD.
