MIPS Calculator

This calculator calculates the MIPS using cpu clock speed, cycles per instruction values.

What is MIPS?

MIPS Stands for "Million Instructions Per Second". It is a method of measuring the raw speed of a computer's processor. Since the MIPS measurement doesn't take into account other factors such as the computer's I/O speed or processor architecture, it isn't always a fair way to measure the performance of a computer.

Calculate MIPS of Processor

Formula:

MIPS = (Cs ÷ CPI) ÷ 1000000

Where,

Cs is number of cycles per second

CPI is cycles per instruction

MIPS is Million Instructions Per Second

Example:

Objective:
Find the millions of instructions per second

Given:
Computer having a CPU of 800 megahertz with 3 cycles per instruction

Solution:
