/gips/ or /jips/ [Analogy with MIPS] Giga-Instructions per Second (or possibly "Gillions of Instructions per Second" see gillion). In 1991, this was used of only a handful of highly parallel machines and one sequential processor built with {Josephson device}s. {DEC}' s {Alpha AXP 21164} processor was the first commercially available 1 GIPS sequential processor (7 Sep 1994). Compare KIPS. ["A 1-GIPS Josephson Data Processor", Yuji Hatano et al, IEEE J Solid State Circuits, vol 26, 6, June 1991] [Jargon File] (1994-11-02)
