Flops (Floating Point Operations Per Second)

Floating Point Operations Per Second, a measure of computer performance useful for scientific computations that require floating-point calculations, particularly in deep learning.

Flops (Floating Point Operations Per Second)

Areas of application

  • scientific computations
  • deep learning
  • AI models

Example

A deep learning model with 10 billion FLOPS can process large datasets much faster than one with only 1 billion FLOPS.
