One word: NO.
IBM has never supported the idea of MIPs, mainly - my personal opinion - because the performance of IBM mainframes, when measured in MIPs, is quite disappointing. MIPs applies more to RISC type computing platforms rather than CISC computing platforms. You do not hear Intel or AMD talking about MIPs for their x86 chips (or AMDs clones of Intel's x86 chips) either, and for the same reason.
