'''Floating point operations per second''' ('''FLOPS''', '''flops''' or '''flop/s''') is a measure of [[computer performance]] in [[computing]], useful in fields of scientific computations that require [[floating-point]] calculations.<ref>{{cite web |title=Understand measures of supercomputer performance and storage system capacity |url=https://kb.iu.edu/d/apeq |website=kb.iu.edu |access-date=23 March 2024}}</ref> 

For such cases, it is a more accurate measure than measuring [[instructions per second]].{{cn|date=March 2024}}

[[Floating-point arithmetic]] is needed for very large or very small [[real number]]s, or computations that require a large dynamic range. Floating-point representation is similar to scientific notation, except computers use [[Binary number|base two]] (with rare exceptions), rather than [[Decimal|base ten]]. The encoding scheme stores the sign, the [[exponent]] (in base two for Cray and [[VAX]], base two or ten for [[IEEE floating point]] formats, and base 16 for [[IBM hexadecimal floating-point|IBM Floating Point Architecture]]) and the [[significand]] (number after the [[radix point]]). While several similar formats are in use, the most common is [[IEEE 754-1985|ANSI/IEEE Std. 754-1985]]. This standard defines the format for 32-bit numbers called ''single precision'', as well as 64-bit numbers called ''double precision'' and longer numbers called ''extended precision'' (used for intermediate results). Floating-point representations can support a much wider range of values than fixed-point, with the ability to represent very small numbers and very large numbers.<ref>[http://www.dspguide.com/ch4/3.htm Floating Point] Retrieved on December 25, 2009.</ref>

===Dynamic range and precision===
The exponentiation inherent in floating-point computation assures a much larger dynamic range – the largest and smallest numbers that can be represented – which is especially important when processing data sets where some of the data may have extremely large range of numerical values or where the range may be unpredictable. As such, floating-point processors are ideally suited for computationally intensive applications.<ref>[http://www.analog.com/en/embedded-processing-dsp/content/Fixed-Point_vs_Floating-Point_DSP/fca.html Summary: Fixed-point (integer) vs floating-point] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091231034504/http://www.analog.com/en/embedded-processing-dsp/content/Fixed-Point_vs_Floating-Point_DSP/fca.html |date=December 31, 2009 }} Retrieved on December 25, 2009.</ref>

===Computational performance===
FLOPS and [[Million instructions per second#Million instructions per second|MIPS]] are units of measure for the numerical computing performance of a computer. Floating-point operations are typically used in fields such as scientific computational research, as well as in [[machine learning]]. However, before the late 1980s floating-point hardware (it's possible to implement FP arithmetic in software over any integer hardware) was typically an optional feature, and computers that had it were said to be "scientific computers", or to have "[[scientific computation]]" capability. Thus the unit MIPS was useful to measure integer performance of any computer, including those without such a capability, and to account for architecture differences, similar MOPS (million operations per second) was used as early as 1970<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ARwaAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA7-PA7 |title=NASA Technical Note |date=1970 |publisher=National Aeronautics and Space Administration. |language=en}}</ref> as well. Note that besides integer (or fixed-point) arithmetics, examples of integer operation include data movement (A to B) or value testing (If A = B, then C). That's why MIPS as a performance benchmark is adequate when a computer is used in database queries, word processing, spreadsheets, or to run multiple virtual operating systems.<ref>[http://www.dspguide.com/ch28/4.htm Fixed versus floating point.] Retrieved on December 25, 2009.</ref><ref>[http://www.dspguide.com/ch28/1.htm Data manipulation and math calculation.] Retrieved on December 25, 2009.</ref> In 1974 [[David Kuck]] coined the terms flops and megaflops for the description of supercomputer performance of the day by the number of floating-point calculations they performed per second.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kuck |first=D. J. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PFqzjuXL4YgC&pg=PA1 |title=Computer System Capacity Fundamentals |date=1974 |publisher=U.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards |language=en}}</ref> This was much better than using the prevalent MIPS to compare computers as this statistic usually had little bearing on the arithmetic capability of the machine on scientific tasks.

FLOPS on an HPC-system can be calculated using this equation:<ref name="en.community.dell.com">{{Cite web |url=https://www.dell.com/support/article/fr/fr/frbsdt1/sln310893/nodes-sockets-cores-and-flops-oh-my |title="Nodes, Sockets, Cores and FLOPS, Oh, My" by Dr. Mark R. Fernandez, Ph.D. |access-date=February 12, 2019 |archive-date=February 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190213005604/https://www.dell.com/support/article/fr/fr/frbsdt1/sln310893/nodes-sockets-cores-and-flops-oh-my |url-status=dead }}</ref>

: <math>\text{FLOPS} = \text{racks} \times \frac{\text{nodes}}{\text{rack}} \times \frac{\text{sockets}}{\text{node}} \times \frac{\text{cores}}{\text{socket}} \times \frac{\text{cycles}}{ \text{second}} \times \frac{\text{FLOPs}}{\text{cycle}}.</math>

This can be simplified to the most common case: a computer that has exactly 1 CPU:

: <math>\text{FLOPS} = \text{cores} \times \frac{\text{cycles}}{ \text{second}} \times \frac{\text{FLOPs}}{\text{cycle}}.</math>

FLOPS can be recorded in different measures of precision, for example, the [[TOP500]] supercomputer list ranks computers by 64 bit ([[double-precision floating-point format]]) operations per second, abbreviated to ''FP64''.<ref name="top500faq">{{cite web |title=FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |url=https://www.top500.org/resources/frequently-asked-questions/ |website=top500.org |access-date=June 23, 2020}}</ref> Similar measures are available for [[Single-precision floating-point format|32-bit]] (''FP32'') and [[Half-precision floating-point format|16-bit]] (''FP16'') operations.

==Performance records==
===Single computer records===
In June 1997, [[Intel]]'s [[ASCI Red]] was the world's first computer to achieve one teraFLOPS and beyond. Sandia director Bill Camp said that ASCI Red had the best reliability of any supercomputer ever built, and "was supercomputing's high-water mark in longevity, price, and performance".<ref name="jacobsequity.com">{{cite web |title=Sandia's ASCI Red, world's first teraflop supercomputer, is decommissioned |url=http://www.jacobsequity.com/ASCI%20Red%20Supercomputer.pdf |access-date=November 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105131112/http://www.jacobsequity.com/ASCI%20Red%20Supercomputer.pdf |archive-date=November 5, 2010 }}</ref>

[[NEC]]'s [[NEC SX-9|SX-9]] supercomputer was the world's first [[vector processor]] to exceed 100&nbsp;gigaFLOPS per single core.

In June 2006, a new computer was announced by Japanese research institute [[RIKEN]], the [[MDGRAPE-3]]. The computer's performance tops out at one petaFLOPS, almost two times faster than the Blue Gene/L, but MDGRAPE-3 is not a general purpose computer, which is why it does not appear in the [[TOP500|Top500.org]] list. It has special-purpose [[pipeline (computing)|pipelines]] for simulating molecular dynamics.

By 2007, [[Intel|Intel Corporation]] unveiled the experimental [[multi-core]] [[Teraflops Research Chip|POLARIS]] chip, which achieves 1 teraFLOPS at 3.13&nbsp;GHz. The 80-core chip can raise this result to 2 teraFLOPS at 6.26&nbsp;GHz, although the thermal dissipation at this frequency exceeds 190&nbsp;watts.<ref>{{cite web|author=Richard Swinburne |url=http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/04/30/the_arrival_of_teraflop_computing/2 |title=The Arrival of TeraFLOP Computing |publisher=bit-tech.net |date=April 30, 2007 |access-date=February 9, 2012}}</ref>

In June 2008, AMD released ATI Radeon HD 4800 series, which are reported to be the first GPUs to achieve one teraFLOPS. On August 12, 2008, AMD released the ATI Radeon HD 4870X2 graphics card with two [[Radeon HD 4000 series|Radeon R770]] GPUs totaling 2.4 teraFLOPS.

In November 2008, an upgrade to the Cray [[Jaguar (supercomputer)|Jaguar supercomputer]] at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) raised the system's computing power to a peak 1.64 petaFLOPS, making Jaguar the world's first petaFLOPS system dedicated to [[open research]]. In early 2009 the supercomputer was named after a mythical creature, [[Kraken]]. Kraken was declared the world's fastest university-managed supercomputer and sixth fastest overall in the 2009 TOP500 list. In 2010 Kraken was upgraded and can operate faster and is more powerful.

In 2009, the [[Cray]] Jaguar performed at 1.75 petaFLOPS, beating the IBM Roadrunner for the number one spot on the [[TOP500]] list.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.forbes.com/2009/11/15/supercomputer-ibm-jaguar-technology-cio-network-cray.html?feed=rss_popstories | work=Forbes | first=Andy | last=Greenberg | title=Cray Dethrones IBM in Supercomputing | date=November 16, 2009}}</ref>
