illion nstructions er econd. MIPS is a unit for measuring the average number of machine language instructions a computer can perform or execute in one second. However, it can be shown that the same computer can execute two different loops of code to estimate MIPS, and their execution times will differ significantly. A MIPS value should therefore be used only as a very general measure of performance when comparing different types of computers. In order to obtain accurate performance data to compare similar computers, each subsystem must be isolated, and practically speaking, this is an almost impossible task. More realistic benchmark testing occurs at the application level. MIPS is sometimes jokingly referred to as Meaningless Indicator of Processor Speed.

(million instructions per second) - A general comparison gauge of a computer's raw processing power.

An approximate measure of a computer's raw processing power. MIPS figures can be misleading because measurement techniques often differ, and different computers may require different sets of instructions to perform the same activity.

MIPS is a company that produces CPU's found in systems like the Sony PlayStation 2, PDA's, etc.

A conventional measure of the speed of a computer in terms of the number of the steps it can perform per second.

A measurement of data transmissions capacity. The more MIPS a computer has, the more powerful it is.

This is a rating of how quickly a processor can process instructions. A processor rated at 100 MIPS can process 100,000,000 instructions per second.

Million Instructions Per Second. A measure of the speed of execution of a CPU. A superscalar CPU such as the MIPS R10000 CPU can normally finish 1.5 instructions per clock cycle, or about 300 MIPS for a CPU with a 200MHZ clock.

n. A measure of computer processing performance that is equal to one million instructions per second.

The number of MIPS (millions of instructions per second) is a general measure of computing performance and, by implication, the amount of work a larger computer can do.

(millions of instructions per second) A unit measure of processor performance. The more MIPS, the better a system's performance.

Millions of Instructions Per Second. MIPS rates are a relatively poor way to compare processor performance as different types of processors execute instructions in different ways; SPECInt & SPECfp benchmark scores are currently the accepted industry standard. MIPS has jokingly been referred to as "Meaningless Indicators of Processor Speed" and "MisInformation to Promote Sales" are but two of many variations.

Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS) is a measurement of performance or capacity assigned to a fixed-point processor. It refers to the number of mathematical instructions performed each second.

Millions of instructions per second. A unit indicating a computer's processing speed.

Acronym for million instructions per second. An old measure of a computer's speed and power, MIPS measures roughly the number of machine instructions that a computer can execute in one second. However, different instructions require more or less time than others, and there is no standard method for measuring MIPS. In addition, MIPS refers only to the CPU speed, whereas real applications are generally limited by other factors, such as I/O speed. A machine with a high MIPS rating, therefore, might not run a particular application any faster than a machine with a low MIPS rating. For all these reasons, MIPS ratings are not used often anymore. In fact, some people jokingly claim that MIPS really stands for Meaningless Indicator of Performance. Despite these problems, a MIPS rating can give you a general idea of a computer's speed. The IBM PC/XT computer, for example, is rated at 1/4 MIPS, while Pentium-based PCs run at over 100 MIPS.

This means Millions of Instructions Per Second.

One Million Instructions Per Second. A performance rating usually referring to integer or non-floating point instructions. (See also MOPS.)

An acronym for millions of instructions per second. MIPS is mistakenly considered a relative measure of computing capability among models and vendors. It is a meaningful measure only among versions of the same processors configured  with identical peripherals and software.

stands for Million Instructions Per Second. MIPS measures the processing speed of the computer, the horse-power.

A rating of speed and power, MIPS describes a digital signal's processing capabilities. It roughly measures the number of machine instructions a device can execute in one second. However, due to a lack of standards for measuring MIPS and differences in applications, it is not always an accurate measure of speed.

acronym for millions of instructions per second, a method of measuring computer speed; widely used measurement in larger systems.

Millions of Instructions Per Second. A way of defining the power of a microprocessor. The amount of real work accomplished varies very much from one processor architecture to another and depends on the instructions themselves and what else the processor is doing (in the way of I/O, etc).

Stands for millions of instructions per second, used as a rough indication of the performance of a CPU.
