This text gives some information about BogoMips, compiled from various sources such as news and e-mail. This text, initially started back in 1993 as BogoMips Information Sheet, is retrievable in the most up-to-date version from its homepage at www.clifton.nl , and from the various Linux archives in the file .../HOWTO/mini/BogoMips. Translations are reported to be available in Chinese , French , German, Hungarian , Indonesian , Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian , Spanish , and Slovak from appropriate archives. An explanatory article , titled 'the Quintessential Linux Benchmark,' was published in the Linux Journal, vol 21, 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 Wim van Dorst
