Line 7:
A '''petaflop''' is the (as of 2002) almost unimaginable speed of 10<sup>15</sup> FLOPS, or a million gigaflops.
 
FLOPS, like [[Million Instructions Per Second|MIPS]], are not that useful as a [[benchmark]] for modern computers because there are many other factors in computer performance other than raw floating-point computation.
 
'''FLOPS''' is also a [http://www.users.nwark.com/~davej/flops.html homebrew club] in Fayette, Arkansas
