: <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.
