FLOPS

FLOPS, or flop/s, is a abbreviation for floating-point operations per second.. Accessed 2022-07-11. A gigaFLOPS (often mispresented as a "gigaflop", is a unit of measurement used to measure the performance of graphics processing units (GPUs) in billions of floating point operations per second. 1 gigaFLOPS was also a classic unit of measurement for supercomputer performance until the release of the Power Mac G4 by Apple Computer in 1999..
