  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. 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.

  4. Float (money supply) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(money_supply)

    In economics, float is duplicate money present in the banking system during the time between a deposit being made in the recipient's account and the money being deducted from the sender's account. It can be used as investable asset, but makes up the smallest part of the money supply .

  6. Floating-point error mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_error...

    Variable-length arithmetic operations are considerably slower than fixed-length format floating-point instructions. When high performance is not a requirement, but high precision is, variable length arithmetic can prove useful, though the actual accuracy of the result may not be known.

  7. Roofline model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roofline_model

    The arithmetic intensity, also referred to as operational intensity, [3] [7] is the ratio of the work to the memory traffic : [1] = and denotes the number of operations per byte of memory traffic. When the work W {\displaystyle W} is expressed as FLOPs , the resulting arithmetic intensity I {\displaystyle I} will be the ratio of floating point ...

    That may be why there's a rabid interest in projecting when the next recession will come. The benefits of such a call vary. It can help, or hurt, political parties amid an election year. It can ...

  9. Instructions per cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle

    The number of instructions per second and floating point operations per second for a processor can be derived by multiplying the number of instructions per cycle with the clock rate (cycles per second given in Hertz) of the processor in question. The number of instructions per second is an approximate indicator of the likely performance of the ...
