Question

What does MIPS stands for in computer terminology?

A. Marginal Input Storage

B. Million Instruction per Second

C. Micro Information Processing Storage

D. Memory Image Processing State

1. C
2. A
3. B
4. D

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : B

The correct answer is B.

• MIPS stands for Million Instruction 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.
• To calculate MIPS, divide the number of cycles per second (CPU) by the number of cycles per instruction (CPI) and then divide by 1 million to find the MIPS.
• They're frequently the processors used in things like routers and other small computing appliances like that.
