Peta-Flop
A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed and can be expressed as a thousand trillion floating point operations per second.
FLOPS are floating-point operations per second. Floating-point is considered to be a method of encoding real numbers within the limits of finite precision available on computers.
Using floating-point encoding, extremely long numbers can be handled relatively easily. A floating-point number is expressed as a basic number, an exponent, and a number base which is usually ten but may also be 2.
