friends please tell me how to find the MIPS of a computer. if there is any tool please post the link. advance thanks
 
Why do you need to know the MIPS of your CPU?

MIPS isnt possible to generalize really, because it depends heavily on which instructions you are running. A more common way to measure CPU potential is FLOPS(floating point operations per second) this specifies exactly what type of instruction you are dealing with, where as MIPS could refer to moves, adds, multiplies, or a hundred other instructions so its not a valid way to compare processors. Linux can give you a rough equivlent called "bogomips" which is the number of times in a second the CPU can do absolutely nothing, it seems to scale well with processor architectures.

In my college we learned about "crypt analysis". we wanted to know about MIPS and MIPSY which are the units of the WORTH FACTOR(time taken to breaking the algorithm). so i want to how many MIPS my computer can process. this was the assignment given to me..

what is the difference between MIPS, MTOPS and FLOPS?

thank you xiera :) i gonna try this
