  2. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    Floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance in computing, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations. [1] For such cases, it is a more accurate measure than measuring instructions per second. [citation needed]

  3. Whetstone (benchmark) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whetstone_(benchmark)

    In 1978, the program was updated to log running time of each of the tests, allowing MFLOPS (Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second) to be included in reports, along with an estimation of Integer MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second). In 1987, MFLOPS calculations were included in the log for the three appropriate tests and MOPS ...

  4. LINPACK benchmarks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINPACK_benchmarks

    The performance measured by the LINPACK benchmark consists of the number of 64-bit floating-point operations, generally additions and multiplications, a computer can perform per second, also known as FLOPS. However, a computer's performance when running actual applications is likely to be far behind the maximal performance it achieves running ...

  5. SPECfp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECfp

    SPECfp is a computer benchmark designed to test the floating-point performance of a computer. It is managed by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. SPECfp is the floating-point performance testing component of the SPEC CPU testing suit. The first standard SPECfp was released in 1989 [1] as SPECfp89. Later it was replaced by SPECfp92 ...

  6. Petascale computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petascale_computing

    Petascale computing refers to computing systems capable of performing at least 1 quadrillion (10^15) floating-point operations per second (FLOPS).These systems are often called petaflops systems and represent a significant leap from traditional supercomputers in terms of raw performance, enabling them to handle vast datasets and complex computations.

  8. Dhrystone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhrystone

    The Dhrystone benchmark contains no floating point operations, thus the name is a pun on the then-popular Whetstone benchmark for floating point operations. The output from the benchmark is the number of Dhrystones per second (the number of iterations of the main code loop per second).

  9. Zettascale computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettascale_computing

    Zettascale computing refers to computing systems capable of calculating at least "10 21 IEEE 754 Double Precision (64-bit) operations (multiplications and/or additions) per second (zetta FLOPS)". [1] It is a measure of supercomputer performance, and as of July 2022 [update] is a hypothetical performance barrier. [ 2 ]
