A MIPS-year is a measurement of computational steps for computers. MIPS means million instructions per second, and a MIPS-year is equal to the amount of steps processed for one year at one million instructions per second.

Thus, a MIPS-year would be equal to:

1,000,000 • (365 days/year) • (86400 seconds/day), or approximately 31.5 trillion instructions.
