  MIPS Technologies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MIPS Technologies, formerly MIPS Computer Systems, is most widely known for developing the MIPS architecture and a series of pioneering RISC CPUs.
MIPS Computer Systems Inc. was founded in 1984 by a group of researchers from Stanford University that included John L. Hennessy, as a vendor of microprocessor chips.
MIPS made its first initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq in November 1989 (after which it was acquired by SGI, spun-off, then IPOed again in 1998).

 MIPS Technologies RISC Processor Cores Backgrounder
MIPS Technologies, Inc. is committed to driving this industry trend by providing its MIPS architecture processors in easily adaptable processor cores.
MIPS Technologies, Inc. is now extending that leadership with a new family processor cores.
Unlike other approaches that require the use of vendor-specific standard cells and fab processes, the new MIPS Technologies, Inc. cores are designed to be easily adapted to a wide range of independent fabrication processes.

 Jonah Probell - The Lexra Story
The MIPS instruction set was developed as an academic project at Stanford by a group working under the direction of John Hennessy who has since been promoted to president of Stanford.
MIPS Technologies appealed the PTO ruling and also won a favorably broad interpretation of the language of the patent from a judge that forced Lexra into a settlement that included dropping the reexamination request before MIPS Technologies might have lost its appeal.
The case of MIPS Technologies v Lexra was ultimately settled out of court and the request for reexamination of the patent was dropped.

 MIPS architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MIPS, for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages, is a RISC microprocessor architecture developed by MIPS Technologies.
By the late 1990s MIPS was a powerhouse in the embedded processor field, and in 1997 the 48-millionth MIPS-based CPU shipped, making it the first RISC CPU to outship the famous 68k family.
A more feature-rich free MIPS emulator is available from the GXemul project (formerly known as the mips64emul project), which emulates not only the various MIPS III and higher microprocessors (from the R4000 through the R10000), but also emulates entire computer systems which use the microprocessors.

 What is MIPS? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A old measure of a computer's speed and power, MIPS measures roughly the number of machine instructions that a computer can execute in one second.
In addition, MIPS refers only to the CPU speed, whereas real applications are generally limited by other factors, such as I/O speed.
A machine with a high MIPS rating, therefore, might not run a particular application any faster than a machine with a low MIPS rating.
