What is 1 petaFLOPS equal to? ​

What is FLOPS? ​

The performance capabilities of supercomputers are expressed using a standard rate for indicating the number of floating-point arithmetic calculations systems can perform on a per-second basis.

The rate, floating-point operations per second, is abbreviated as FLOPS.

The orders of magnitude in computer performance ​

GigaFLOPS ​

1 gigaFLOPS (GFLOPS) = 10⁹ FLOPS

TeraFLOPS ​

1 teraFLOPS (TFLOPS) = 10¹² FLOPS = one trillion FLOPS

PetaFLOPS ​

1 petaFLOPS (PFLOPS) = 10¹⁵ FLOPS = one thousand trillion (one quadrillion) FLOPS

ExaFLOPS ​

1 exaFLOPS (EFLOPS) = 10¹⁸ FLOPS

ZettaFLOPS ​

1 zettaFLOPS (ZFLOPS) = 10²¹ FLOPS

YottaFLOPS ​

1 yottaFLOPS (YFLOPS) = 10²⁴ FLOPS
