[Info-vax] Some VMS/x86 perf test data from WASD maintainer.

[Volker Halle]

Running the various VUPS procedures on my VSI OpenVMS x86-64 E9.2-1 system on VMware Workstation Player 16 on an i5-9600K CPU @3.7 GHz:

$ @wasd_vups.com
VMware, Inc. VMware7,1 with 2 CPU and 3836MB running VMS E9.2-1
INFO: Preventing endless loop (10$) on fast CPUs
Approximate System VUPs Rating : 757.6 ( min: 757.6 max: 757.6 )

$ @migs_vups.com
INFO: Preventing endless loop (10$) on fast CPUs

$ @emuvm_vups.com

Approximate System VUPs Rating : 749.2 ( min: 745.2 max: 753.4 )

It should be noted that the following VUPS procedure from Stromasys has been 'calibrated' based on the relative PRIME_SIEVE integer CPU performance (see link above) data to deliver CPU performance data comparable across all 4 different OpenVMS architectures (VAX, Alpha, I64 and x86-64).
