  2. Floating Point Operation - A Floating Point Operation is a mathematical operation with floating point numbers. - Floating point number: 23.452 = 23452 x 10-3 significant digits x base exponent - They cover easily extremely large number ranges between astronomy and particle physics. - A Floating Point Unit is a part of a computer system specifically designed to carry out operations on floating point numbers. - FLOPS is in computing to a measure of computer performance - -floating point operations per second (note plural and per second).

  3. Floating Point Operation

  4. Floating Point Operation – Theoretical Peak Performance GFLOPS = (CPU-Takt in GHz) × (Anzahl der CPU-Kerne) × (CPU-Instruktionen pro Takt) × (Anzahl der CPU im Rechnerknoten) Beispiel: Zwei Sockel-Server mit 8 Kernen und einer Taktfrequenz von 2.6 GHz und 8 Instruktionen per Zyklus (z.B. Intel E5-2600-Reihe) GFLOPS = 2.6 x 8 x 8 x 2 = 332.8 GFLOPS Adjusted Peak Performance is significantly lower.

  5. Benchmarking LINPACK – software library for performing numerical linear algebra on computers, is now widely used for measuring computer performance Linpack Benchmark - Java Version´- (http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/linpackjava/) The problem solved is a dense 500x500 system of linear equations with one right hand side, Ax=b. The matrix is generated randomly and the right hand side is constructed so the solution has all components equal to one. 800 – 1100 Mflops/s
