      People constantly mix these up and it’s been shorteningly my life considerably

      Exaflop is 1 quintillion flops (floating point math operations in a second.). Yes, probably can run DOOM.

        That’s the joke. The table has Exaflops/s => Exaflop /s2 => acceleration. Ah, no it doesn’t, it has Exaflop/s rather than the normal Exaflops. My bad. Funny how you see what you expect to, no?

      I’ll help with a layman explanation in addition to what op already defined.

      Teraflops is a measure of raw compute power often used to measure GPUs(but isn’t really accurate to use to compare 2 different kinds, but that’s a whole nother conversation). Exaflops are a million times more than teraflops.

        Right, but flops is floating point operations per second. Adding another /s makes it acceleration.

          Where is the other s?

          Edit: I’m not very observant. I was reading too fast and saw “ac…” and my brain filled it in as “actually”.
