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
