  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. 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 ]

  5. 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.

  6. Exascale computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exascale_computing

    HPE Frontier at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility is the world's first exascale supercomputer. Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of calculating at least 10 18 IEEE 754 Double Precision (64-bit) operations (multiplications and/or additions) per second (exa FLOPS)"; [1] it is a measure of supercomputer performance.

  7. SPECfp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECfp

    The second set is CFP (aka SPECfp) which is for evaluating the CPU floating-point operations performance. The benchmark applications are programs that perform a strict set of operation that simulate real time situations, such as physical simulations, 3D graphics, and image processing.

    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 ]

  9. 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 ...
