Just out of idle curiosity, who's got the fastest linux box?

Best any of mine do is 1992 (duron 1G)

37.37 (486 75Mhz)
349.80 (Pentium II 350Mhz)
2490.36 (Athlon XP 2000+)

2929.45 (Athlon XP 1700+, same for both machines).

Desktop:
bogomips : 3971.48
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
cpu MHz : 1992.644


laptop: ( is powered down right now, approximate )
bogomips : 1390?
model name :Pentium III 650 MHz

1399.19 Pentium III (701.607Mhz)

1795.69 Athlon 900mhz ( 908.982 MHz)

Cool

Well, we all know that mips are bogus, so um... the numbers don't mean very much.

:P

Slick.

Meaningless or not

IBM Dual 1.26Ghz P3
Total of 2 processors activated (5010.02 BogoMIPS).

SuperMicro Dual P4 2.0Ghz XEON
Total of 2 processors activated (7948.80 BogoMIPS).

Do you have hyperthreading on those Xeons?

I seem to be suckin at math lately (and yes I know BogoMips are inredibly bogus.. but), however:

(2 x ~1.2 = ~2.4) = ~5000 Mips ( ~ 2083 Mips/Ghz )
(2 x ~2 = ~4) = ~8000 Mips ( ~ 2000 Mips/Ghz )

Shouldn't it be more than that (again, yes I know they are bogus...)? Like I said I am suckin really bad at math lately, so I cannot seem to remember how to figure out what each bogomip equals per GHz...

(added the mips per Ghz in the perenthesis next to each CPU)

Bah! Stupid me, I would delete what I just typed, but I figure I'll leave it so you can all see how dumb I am sometimes

Anyway:

Shouldn't the Xeon CPU be quite a bit more? Also, shouldn't there be more of a synergistic effect from the 2 Xeon's at 2Ghz, meaning there should be more Mips per Ghz?

Cool

I like meaningless numbers....
grendel,
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) processor
cpu MHz : 1000.051
bogomips : 1992.29
aptiva,
model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
cpu MHz : 448.878
bogomips : 894.56

Hmmm, according to /proc/cpuinfo my cpu is detected as 1250.069 MHz. I thought an athlon xp 2000+ was supposed to match up to at least 1.67GHz. It could be my motherboard though since the chipset on there is not fully detected. At least I paid for a 2000+ maybe I gotta double check to see what they actually put in there. Or maybe it's just me seeing things all wrong.

AMD Duron Processor
cpu MHz : 945.983
bogomips : 1880.89

seems most prefer the AMD...

What mobo have you got Mik?

It's an MSI KT4 Ultra BSR. It's got the VIA KT400 chipset on it. I had to add some patches to the 2.4.20 kernel for it to be able to get the AGP stuff working.
I still have problems with things like my TV card, I can't put it in overlay mode. The overlay mode is supposed to get it to copy the data directly from my tv card to the graphics card. It seems it's having troubles with that. Or I'm configuring it wrong. But I don't really have another motherboard available right now to test it on.
I still get suspicious messages when booting though, like this one:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
But I haven't really taken much time to look into what is causing that.
