- 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.
The IBM Roadrunner, which was the world's first petaflop supercomputer, was built in 2008 at a cost of approximately $100 million. This investment covered the hardware, development, and installation costs. Roadrunner was notable for its innovative use of cell processors and x86 processors, significantly advancing computing performance at the time.
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.
