FLOPS

Short for Floating-Point Operations Per Second, FLOPS is a measurement of computer performance. It is used in computations that involve floating-point calculations.

There are many prefixes associated with FLOPS. For example, 20 Mflops equals 20 million FLOPS. The term teraflop (or tflop) describes a trillion (10¹²) floating-point operations per second. A petaflop is one quadrillion (10¹⁵) FLOPS.
