1) Message boards : Science : Flops (Message 6731) Posted 17 Jun 2019 by 74861359908 Post: FLOPS [Floating Point Operations Per Second] The idea is: in a statistic table which is concerning to FLOPS per time, different computers [with different hardware and/or different operating systems] could be compared. An example: there is a computer with a CPU with 1 GHz, which is doing workunits for one special project with one special application [the same amount of FLOPS needed to be calculated] and it is running 24 hours per day. That computer could be compared with another computer with a CPU with [for example] 4 GHz, which is doing the same workunits and it is running 24 hours per day, also. In a table which is concerning only to the time [used by the workunits], there would be listed that 24 hours after 1 day were used for both computers for this project [to multiply by the number of cores of the CPU which were used]. But the computer with the CPU with 4 GHz, which can do more FLOPS, should have done more workunits per day [if the workunits need, for example, about 1 hour on the 4 GHz CPU]. In a table which is concerning only to the time, the differences in FLOPS [for example "GFlops"] which were done can not be seen. There is different hardware, there are different operating systems, there is "VirtualBox". The idea is, whether a statistic table concerning to FLOPS per time would be possible to do.
