  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. 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 ...

  5. Instructions per cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle

    The final result comes from dividing the number of instructions by the number of CPU clock cycles. 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 ...

  6. Clock rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

    It is measured in hertz (pulses per second). Clock rate or clock speed in computing typically refers to the frequency at which the clock generator of a processor can generate pulses used to synchronize the operations of its components. [1] It is used as an indicator of the processor's speed. Clock rate is measured in the SI unit of frequency ...

    1.88×10 18: U.S. Summit achieves a peak throughput of this many operations per second, whilst analysing genomic data using a mixture of numerical precisions. [16] 2.43×10 18: Folding@home distributed computing system during COVID-19 pandemic response [17]

  8. 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.

  9. Programmable interval timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_Interval_Timer

    It used a 1.193182 MHz clock signal (one third of the color burst frequency used by NTSC, one twelfth of the system clock crystal oscillator, [1] therefore one quarter of the 4.77 MHz CPU clock) and contains three timers. Timer 0 is used by Microsoft Windows (uniprocessor) and Linux as a system timer, timer 1 was historically used for dynamic ...
