Peta-FLOPS

A Peta-FLOPS is a FLOPS measure for a peta-FLOP (per second).

• AKA: Quadrillion FLOPS.
• Context:
  • It can be attributed to a PetaFLOPS-scale System.
• Example(s):
  • 1 petaFLOPS.
  • 0.001 petaFLOPS (1 teraFLOPS).
  • 1000 petaFLOPS (1 exaFLOPS).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Mega-FLOPS.
  • Tera-FLOPS.
  • Exa-FLOPS.
  • Zetta-FLOPS.
• See: Top-500 Supercomputers, Petabyte.

  • QUOTE: … A pod of TPU 3.0s can crunch numbers at 100 petaFLOPS or more, it is claimed. A pod of TPU 2.0s clocked in at about 11.5 petaFLOPS tops. Eight times 11.5 is 92, which is about 100. It's all rather nebulous, though, because Google shies away from stating the precision of the math in these benchmarks, and the precision will make a difference. ...
