*an acronym for “floating-point operations per second”*
.
[in ‘computing’, FLOPS is a ‘measure’ of ‘computer performance’, useful in ‘fields’ of ‘scientific calculations’ that make heavy use of ‘floating-point calculations’]
.
(for such cases it is a more accurate measure than the generic instructions per second)
(although the final S stands for “second”, singular “flop” is often used, either as a back formation or an abbreviation for “floating-point operation”;
(e.g. a ‘flop count’ is a count of these operations carried out by a given algorithm or computer program)
(in other words…)
“FLOating Point operations per Second”
.
(fastest computer measured by “flops”)
(‘floating point operations’ per ‘second’)
