1. About FLOPs FLOPs (Floating Point Operations Per Second) refers to the number of floating-point operations performed per second. Specifically: A single floating-point addition, such as a + b, counts as one floating-point operation. A single floating-point multiplication, such as a * b, also counts as one floating-point operation. Other basic floating-point operations, such as division and square root, can also be counted as one floating-point operation.
