Bonus: The new Mac Pro has graphics with up to 56 teraflops of computing power, how is that different from a small supercomputer with 56 teraflops
In: Technology
A floating point number is a number with a decimal in it.
1.1 is a floating point number.
1.1 * 2.1 is a floating point operation that gives the value 2.31.
A “flop” is a floating point operation per second.
A “teraflop” is thus a trillion floating point operations per second.
And the difference between the new Mac Pro and a small super computer is that the small super computer will have a far more reasonable cost per teraflop than anything Apple will ever make.
