Calculation Formula

MIPS = Clock Speed (GHz) * Instructions Per Cycle * 1,000,000

Where:
Clock Speed (GHz): The speed of the CPU in gigahertz.
Instructions Per Cycle: The number of instructions the CPU can execute per cycle.
1,000,000: Conversion factor to convert cycles per second to millions of instructions per second.

Result

0 MIPS

How to Use the MIPS Calculator

  1. Enter the clock speed of your CPU in gigahertz (GHz). For example, 3.5 GHz.
  2. Enter the number of instructions the CPU can execute per cycle. This value can vary depending on the CPU architecture.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the MIPS.
  4. The result will be displayed in MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second).

Understanding MIPS

MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second) is a measure of a computer's processing speed. It indicates how many million instructions a CPU can execute per second. A higher MIPS value generally means faster processing speed.

Example Calculation

If a CPU has a clock speed of 3.5 GHz and can execute 10 instructions per cycle, the MIPS would be calculated as follows:

MIPS = 3.5 GHz * 10 instructions/cycle * 1,000,000 = 35,000,000 MIPS

This means the CPU can execute 35 million instructions per second.
