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 marketroids 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 computrons. "this is just a
   workstation; the heavy mips are hidden in the basement." 3. the
   corporate name of a particular risc-chip company. 4. acronym for
   `meaningless information per second' a joke, prob. from sense 1.
