- A petaflop can be expressed as a thousand trillion floating point operations per second; it is a measure of performance for the fastest computers in the world, used in discussions of supercomputing.
1.1 petaflop.
A petaflop, if you mean floating point operations.
1,759,000,000,000,000
Petaflop
a petaflop is a quadrillion mathematical calculations per second
ibm has the top spot but cray broke the petaflop as well with the jaguar
Intel I7 is the latest processor!
A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed:- A thousand trillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
One quadrillion calculations is known as a petaflop where the suffix "flop" stands for FLOating Point operations.
it is nothing. But a Gigaflop would be a number (giga) related to computer processing speed, expressed in 'floating point operations per second'. Petaflop similarly.
No single figure can be given, as this has varied widely over the years with changing technology (e.g. tube, transistor, IC, VLSI), architectural improvements, implementation (e.g. microcode vs. hardwired logic vs. programmable logic devices), etc.
The fastest and most expensive computer would have to be a homemade computer. Not a brand you can buy all ready to go. Some homemade computers can cost a total of over $10,000 when fully modded.The fastest and most expensive computers are always the ones called Supercomputers. These currently compute in the petaFLOP rate and usually cost from $10,000,000 to $100,000,000. Some are commercially available, some are custom built to a contract.
