+<h2>MIPS Counter and Graph</h2>
+
+<p>The Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS) graph gives you a general idea of
+CPU speed in a measured use case. The basic use case for the MIPS analysis
+would be to check any low areas in the graph since they may reveal unoptimized
+features, for example, in terms of memory access (reads and writes). The higher
+the MIPS values, the better and the faster the CPU is in executing
+instructions.</p>
+
+<p>A MIPS (Million Instructions Per Millisecond) graph is displayed in the
+Performance Counters view, when <b>Instructions executed</b> has been selected
+as one of the profiled counters. From PI Profiler version 2.2.1. onwards, CPU
+speed data is included when "Instructions executed" profiled. For files created
+with earlier PI Profiler versions, the dialog below is displayed during
+PIAnalyser file import:</p>

+<p class="figure">Figure 1. MIPS Graph Generation</p>
+
+<p>The processor speed information is needed for calculating the data for the
+MIPS graph. The rest of the data for the calculation is always included in the
+<b>Instructions executed</b> and <b>CPU cycles</b> counters.</p>
+
+<p style="text-align:center"><img src="images/PEC_view_MIPS.png"></p>
+
+<p>The MIPS counter information is displayed in the graphs view and the legend
+table together with the other performance counters. Note, however, that for
+MIPS only <b>Average (1/ms)</b>, <b>Min (1/ms)</b>, and <b>Max (1/ms)</b>
+information is displayed in the legend table.</p>
+
+<p>When the CPU speed data is included in the imported Profiler data file, a
+CPU clock rate counter and graph are also displayed in the <a
+href="view_performance_counters.htm">Performance Counters View</a>.</p>
