| | MIPS architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | MIPS, for Microprocessor without interlocked pipeline stages, is a RISC microprocessor architecture developed by MIPS Computer Systems Inc. MIPS designs are used in SGI's computer product line, and have found broad application in embedded systems, Windows CE devices, and Cisco routers. | | | A more feature-rich MIPS emulator is available from the GXemul project (formerly known as the mips64emul project), which emulates not only the various MIPS III and higher microprocessors (from the R4000 through the R10000), but also emulates entire computer systems which use the microprocessors. | | | Among the manufacturers which made computer workstation systems using MIPS processors are SGI, MIPS Computer Systems, Inc., Olivetti, Siemens-Nixdorf, Acer, Digital Equipment Corporation, NEC, and DeskStation. |

| | MIPS |
| | The MIPS processor was developed as part of a VLSI research program at Stanford University in the early 80s. | | | MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. was founded in 1984 upon the Stanford research from which the first MIPS chip resulted. | | | The Stanford research group had a strong background in compilers, which led them to develop a processor whose architecture would represent the lowering of the compiler to the hardware level, as opposed to the raising of hardware to the software level, which had been a long running design philosophy in the hardware industry. |

| | Instructions per second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the 1970s, minicomputer performance was compared using VAX MIPS, where computers were measured on a task and their performance rated against the VAX 11/780 that was marketed as a "1 MIPS" machine. | | | The Intel i8086 microprocessor, the first 16-bit microprocessor in the line of processors made by Intel and used in IBM PCs, ran at 800 KIPS. | | | Critics of the term refer to it as "Meaningless Indication of Processor Speed" or "Meaningless Information on Performance for Salespeople." In Linux and UNIX circles MIPS are often referred to as bogoMIPS. |

| | The MIPS ISA is also one of the simplest forms of reduced-instruction-set computing around, which tends to make it attractive to processor designers interested in extending the architecture. | | | In the mid-1990s, before MIPS was spun out from Silicon Graphics Inc., the instruction set lacked a multiply-add instruction, so some MIPS vendors took it upon themselves to create their own. | | | Most MIPS processor vendors, by contrast, rely on mainstream foundries that haven't developed the more-exotic process technologies. |
