Million instructions per second (MIPS)
Step-by-step explanation:
Real-life example of measurement:
Like how we measures vegetables & fruits in Kilograms, how we measure water or other liquids in liters, we measure the processing power of a computer with the help of unit called MIPS.
What is processing power?
The number of instruction that a computer can process in one second helps us to calculate the "speed of the computer".
This can also be termed as measuring the clock speed. Its measured in Giga hertz or mega hertz.
Why this is necessary?
- It is to pick the best system to buy. (Also considering the need an budget)
- Purchasing system based on the requirement.
