FLOPS
A measure of compute capacity, counted as floating-point operations per second.
Definition
FLOPS stands for floating-point operations per second and measures how much arithmetic a processor can perform. It is a common way to describe the raw compute capacity of GPUs and other accelerators, often quoted at a specific numeric precision such as FP16 or FP8. The closely related total count of operations is used to estimate the cost of training a model or running a single inference pass.
