MIPS
/mips/, n.
[abbreviation]
1. A measure of computing speed; formally, ?Million Instructions Per
Second? (that's 10^6 per second, not 2^20!); often rendered by hackers as
?Meaningless Indication of Processor Speed? or in other unflattering ways,
such as ?Meaningless Information Provided by Salesmen?. This joke expresses
an attitude nearly universal among hackers about the value of most
benchmark claims, said attitude being one of the great cultural divides
between hackers and marketroids (see also BogoMIPS). The singular is
sometimes ?1 MIP? even though this is clearly etymologically wrong. See
also KIPS and GIPS.
2. Computers, especially large computers, considered abstractly as sources
of computrons. ?This is just a workstation; the heavy MIPS are hidden in
the basement.?
3. The corporate name of a particular RISC-chip company, later acquired by
SGI.
4. Acronym for ?Meaningless Information per Second? (a joke, prob.: from
sense 1).

5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
MIPS
1. Million instructions per second.
The unit commonly used to give the rate at which a processor
executes instructions.
Often rendered by hackers as "Meaningless Indication of
Processor Speed" or in other unflattering ways. This
expresses a nearly universal attitude about the value of most
benchmark claims, said attitude being one of the great
cultural divides between hackers and marketroids.
The etymologically incorrect singular "1 MIP" is sometimes
heard.
See also KIPS and GIPS.
2. VAX MIPS.
3. Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline
Stages.
4. MIPS Technologies, Inc.
