27<h4>DESCRIPTION</h4>
28<ul>
29The mips command displays the simulated system's simulated mips
30which is simulated instructions per simulated second. This differs
31from simulated instructions per wall-clock second which is provided by
32the <a href="cmd_perf.html">perf</a> command.
33<p>
34The mips output is the average over all the cpus/strands being
35simulated, in other words it is the speed of the cpus not their
36aggregate throughput.
37<P>
38The reason for having the "mips" command is that when "conf
39and "conf kmips" have been set to different values then the
40overall system mips depends on the ratio of user to kernel
41instructions. otherwise the "mips" output will
42match the "conf mips" parameter, however you do still get to
43see the user/kernel ratio dynamically.
