What Does TERAFLOPS Stand For?

TERAFLOPS stands for Trillions Of Arithmetic Operations Per Second

TERAFLOPS, an acronym for Trillions Of Arithmetic Operations Per Second, is a measure of a computer's performance, particularly in fields that require extensive computational capabilities, such as scientific simulations, artificial intelligence, and data analysis. It quantifies the processing power of a system by representing the number of arithmetic operations it can perform in one second, with one teraflop equating to one trillion operations. This metric is crucial for evaluating and comparing the capabilities of high-performance computing systems.
