Something i've never known (also known as another part in the series of "Mr Khan is too lazy to google this"), what the hell is a Flop? It seems to measure computing "capacity" as opposed to computing "speed." What's the deal there?


FLOP is a FLoating point OPeration ...

While there are more operations than this, it is effectively an addition/subtraction/multiplication/division of two floating point numbers.
