I have a VUP program I downloaded from somewhere, but it isn't accurate (for
instance, it only calculates VUPs on one processor of an SMP system). The
real VUP calculator DEC used was a set of programs.

What I use for tests are a few compiles and some other programs and calculate
based on results from a known VUP rating.

I've also tried these tests on an Alpha, but that's apples-to-oranges so
there's really not any correlation.
