The news came barely two months after top Sony Pictures executive Peter Guber resigned after spending lavishly on corporate jets and personal chefs while producing megaflops like "" Last Action Hero. '' ❋ Unknown (2008)
At that time [the 1960s], Bell Laboratories scientists projected that computer speeds as high as 30 million floating-point calculations per second (megaflops) would be needed for the Army's ballistic missile defense system. ❋ Unknown (1989)
By comparison, the A4 processor in the iPhone 4 has been measured at up to 36 megaflops, or 36 million floating point calculations per second. ❋ Christopher Williams (2011)
The system is also the 29th most energy-efficient system on the Green500 list at 274.64 megaflops (millions of floating point operations per second) per watt, ❋ Kevin Kwang (2010)
The calculation takes the megaflops-per-second performance ❋ Unknown (2010)
When you do the math, as far as Linpack is concerned, Jaguar takes just under 4 watts to deliver a megaflops at a cost of $114 per megaflops for the iron, while Nebulae consumes 2 watts per megaflops at a cost of $39 per megaflops for the system. ❋ Unknown (2010)
In total, the system achieves a performance of six Teraflops and has an energy efficiency of about 450 megaflops per watt. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The calculation takes the megaflops-per-second performance (MFLOP/s) of a supercomputer and divides it by per watt of energy consumed. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Today, even the iPad dwarfs its humble 133 megaflops and a fast PC can easily surpass 100 giga flops. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The Sequoia massively parallel machine will consume approximately 6.6 megawatts of juice, which is a lot for a single machine, but given that it will deliver 3,050 megaflops per watt - a nearly seven-fold increase in power efficiency over the Dawn system - the tradeoff seems to be worth it. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The handful of BlueGene / P machines that IBM has sold to research labs to date have been rated at between 357 and 372 megaflops per watt, and it is unclear how the BlueGene / P is getting more crunch per watt. ❋ Unknown (2009)
