KipsKIPS is an abbreviation of "thousands (not 1024s) of instructions per second", by analogy with MIPS. It is rarely used, as most current microprocessors can execute several million instructions per second. KIPS is also a common joke name for 16-bit microprocessor designs developed in undergraduate computer engineering courses that use the text Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy (ISBN 1-55860-428-6), which explains computer architecture concepts in terms of the MIPS architecture. Such architectures tend to be scaled down versions of the MIPS R2000 architecture.
