Coincidentally I found today that if I run SimH with  VMS 5.5-2H4 on a
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, I get 3.7 VUPs, which is pretty identical to the
VAXstation 3100M38 that it is emulating.  Hardware cost is $15 and size
tiny. A throwaway VAX! See
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/.

Actually, as it’s a quad-core cpu, I could probably run a cluster of three
or four instances on it for $15!
