| | Million instructions per second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Million instructions per second (MIPS) is a measure of a computer's processor speed. | | | Many reported MIPS values have represented "peak" execution rates on artificial instruction sequences with few branches, whereas realistic workloads consist of a mix of instructions and even applications, some of which take longer to execute than others. | | | The first general purpose microprocessor, the Intel i8080, ran at 640 KIPS. |

| | Units: M |
| | In a particular computer, there is a definite relationship between the rate at which instructions are processed, in mips, and the "clock speed" of the processor, measured in megahertz (MHz). | | | An "instruction" is a single program command to the computer's central processor. | | | This uncertainty is a major reason for the recent decision of the International Electrotechnical Commission to establish new binary prefixes for computer science. |

| | Hardware |
| | Most individual instructions are not very sophisticated; they do things like add, subtract, move data from one location to another, or compare two values (the computer needs many instructions to do things that are meaningful to you and me). | | | Instructions can be more sophisticated and complex, but the basic structure is the same; doing things to and in memory. | | | The electronic pulses affect the speed with which program instructions are executed because instructions are executed at predetermined intervals, which are timed by the electronic pulses. |

| | CmpSci 635 Lecture 3 |
| | The minimum CPI depends on the instruction set (usually just one or two instructions have the minimum CPI) and the speed of the innermost cache, which is usually on the same chip as the CPU in modern processors. | | | For example, queries per second for a database, or gates per second for a VLSI layout tool. | | | Thus, absolute peak performance ignores the fact that there is a mix of CPI values that depend on the instruction set, the cache behavior, and the proportions in which instructions are executed. |
