- More info @ FrontierScientists.com. Greg Newby, director of the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and Per Nyberg, Cray Inc. define FLOPS and update us on the future of supercomputing and computational science.
My mum always said I was a FLOP
I am MEGAFLOP.
my dog's ear flops 4-5 times a second
Nice!
dang
So how fast your dog can answer to your problem?
I just watched this video. I'm left with only one simple question: What's a FLOP?
A floating point unit. A floating point is an equation like 5x5 and a floating point unit is the equation plus solution or 5x5=25. So if your computer can do 10 Teraflops then it can do 10 trillion basic math equations per second.
Roy Green Floating-point is just a way of writing numbers in binary scientific notation. So, a Floating-point Operation Per Second is indeed one computer calculation per second.
Thanks for explaining this better. I sure wanted to know regarding video cards. Appreciated.
Looking forward to the day I can run a version of Sim City that will model the entire planet from top level city by city all the way down to molecular level spore population inside a Sim's household and all the ants on the ground.
+oldtwins All that computing power and scientific potential and you know damn well what you will do. Set the place on fire and unleash Godzillas.

Ha ha you got what you wanted
As a Volkswagen has a altinstor with brushes the micro Otto computer can read a individualized knowlege by input
Can it run granny racers
I remember the battles around the Cray-1 and CDC Star-100 both in the 100 MFLOP order of magnitude but vastly different due to the short vector vs long vector architecture.
What about flip flop?
But does it run Crysis :-)
Both FLOP and FLOPS are perfectly acceptable. THe term arose from 'floating point operation per second' but isn't direclty tied to it anymore.
I can program the most composite of any computer
It is "quintillion" not "quintrillion" as stated twice by one of the stars of this show.
2:50 I though that was a hologram and I jumped off my seat
It is a measure for computational power for supercomputers?
so the sum number of flops do not equate how good a machine will operate? that means that if the xbox or the playstation video game console tries to claim certain number of flops, that doesn't mean it will operate better? confirm? deny?
Having more flops does not necessarily mean better performance, as flops are more advantageous calculating hundreds of equations a second. Sure let's say we have 6 Tflops on a machine or more but very unlikely that it'll be used for applications.
Think FLOPS as equivalent to Horsepower in cars. It's a great measure of theoretical power but so many factors decide how that power is usable and to what degree. A 1000 HP vehicle geared for speed can go fast but the same geared for power would be slow but capable of hauling more. Take into consideration the weight of the vehicle, roads you're using and so on you start to see the limitations where software and application are concerned.
I tried a couple of web pages including wiki to find out what a FLOP is and it's not until 3:05 in this video when they talk about EXOFLOP's that it's actually explained what a FLOP is in plain english.
In plain english, a flop is "a fall, move, or hang in a loose and ungainly way."
But can it mine BitCoin?
What websites can I use to check a CPU's FLOPS (Floating Operations Per Second)?
I just custom built my PC, after watching this, I come to the conclusion, that my PC is a "FLOP".Definition -3. Informal: An utter failure.
the new Ghostbusters movie
MrFreakinout2 snort lol
gummibanane lol it took you over 2 months to figure it out
yottaflop is septillions of operations per second
What they are not saying is that our current model for supercomputing is only good for large scale parallel small repetitive calculations. For complex serial calculations we need a different model. We also need a way of intuitive thinking, or AI.
We are still in the stone age of computing.
Morgan Freeman should voice our AI in the future.
EPIC!!!
How many flops to run Crysis?
Yes.. but can it compute the last digit in pi? jk
How would you find out how many FLOPS a computer has?
theres anequation online.just find your specs
Run test program.
FL-oating point OP-erations per second
FLOP = floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s)
Peta-Flop sound like an animal activist meeting that did'nt go so well.. HA HA
I noticed Neymar do a bunch of flops during the world cup...
My computer runs at 53.8 ExoFLOPS
That ps3 datacenter 500 teraflops!
yottaflops are stil far away
Actually...
Flops = Horsepower of the nerds.
Just like a car horsepower doesn't mean everything :)
nah, windows 2000 was decent. perhaps you meant windows vista ?
What's a flop? Nicki Manaj's newest album...
It's almost r/nottimanderic
62 GFLOps at 4.5GHz ;)
What's a flop ? Me after 25 pints of lager :-)
I thought a flop was Windows 2000
Flip Flop!
NERDGASM!! :D
Every body do the Flop...
But can it run Crysis 2?
Batman v Superman
Lebron James flops 10-20 times a game
aka Lebron...
So hop on the deck and flop like a fish!
the question is, why do we need science
iamsiaho principle
stuff science guys!!! we have religion the bible has all the answers we need
lol ungrateful people... you are using science to ask why you need it. There are so many reasons you need science for. One of the primary is International Relations and World Peace. After that is Globalization. And there are a lot more reasons you need Science for. You cannot just rest it all on god and be like "OK".
To make things?
We do not need science. The term science comes from the Latin word scientia, meaning “knowledge”. It can be defined as a systematic attempt to discover, by means of observation and reasoning, particular facts about the world, and to establish laws connecting facts with one another and, in some cases, to make it possible to predict future occurrences. Me I like to discover the mystery. What is this number one of things, I cannot understand one as reality. .
.... i5? INTEL i5? those things do 50 GFLOPS. thats a thousand million flops. not 50. doofus.
False information,no.
lol
