Dhrystone MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipelined Stages) is a benchmarking technique used to measure CPU performance. It was developed in 1984 by Reinhold P [1]. Weicker is based on a synthetic computing benchmark program [1]. Dhrystone MIPS is calculated by running the Dhrystone benchmark program and measuring the number of instructions per second (IPS) the processor can execute. This number is then divided by 1757 to get the Dhrystone MIPS value. The 1757 number is derived from the original benchmark program, which contained 1757 Dhrystone instructions.
