MIPS-year

MIPS-year

A MIPS-year is a measurement of computational steps for computers. MIPS means "million instructions per second", and a MIPS-year is equal to the number of steps processed for one year at one million instructions per second.

Thus, a MIPS-year would be equal to:

1,000,000 • (365 days/year) • (86400 seconds/day), or approximately 31.5 trillion instructions.
