MIPS /mips/ n.   [abbreviation] 1. A measure of computing speed;    formally, `Million Instructions Per Second' (that's 10^6 per second,    not 2^(20)!); often rendered by hackers as `Meaningless Indication    of Processor Speed' or in other unflattering ways, such as    `Meaningless Information Provided by Salesmen'.   This joke expresses    an attitude nearly universal among hackers about the value of most    {benchmark} claims, said attitude being one of the great cultural    divides between hackers and {marketroid}s (see also {BogoMIPS}).    The singular is sometimes `1 MIP' even though this is clearly    etymologically wrong.   See also {KIPS} and {GIPS}.   2. Computers,    especially large computers, considered abstractly as sources of    {computron}s.   "This is just a workstation; the heavy MIPS are    hidden in the basement."   3. The corporate name of a particular    RISC-chip company; among other things, they designed the processor    chips used in {DEC}'s 3100 workstation series.   4. Acronym for    `Meaningless Information per Second' (a joke, prob. from sense 1).
