  It is known that every semigroup of normal completely positive maps $P =
{P_t: t\geq 0}$ of $B(H)$, satisfying $P_t(1) = 1$ for every $t\geq 0$, has a
minimal dilation to an E_0-semigroup acting on $B(K)$ for some Hilbert space K
containing H. The minimal dilation of P is unique up to conjugacy. In a
previous paper a numerical index was introduced for semigroups of completely
positive maps and it was shown that the index of P agrees with the index of its
minimal dilation to an E_0-semigroup. However, no examples were discussed, and
no computations were made. In this paper we calculate the index of a unital
completely positive semigroup whose generator is a bounded operator $ L:
B(H)\to B(H) $ in terms of natrual structures associated with the generator.
This includes all unital CP semigroups acting on matrix algebras. We also show
that the minimal dilation of the semigroup $P={\exp{tL}: t\geq 0}$ to an \esg\
is is cocycle conjugate to a CAR/CCR flow.
