What does FLOPS stand for? The results of the benchmark are measured in flops which
stands for floating point operations per second.
Since 2017, there are supercomputers there are supercomputers which can perform over 1017
which can perform over… FLOPS (a hundred quadrillion FLOPS, 100 petaFLOPS or
100 PFLOPS). Since November 2017, all of the world's
fastest 500 supercomputers run Linux-based operating
systems.
