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.
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:
