What does FLOPS mean?

Floating Point Operations Per Second (FLOPS) is a measure of a computer’s performance, especially in fields of scientific calculations that make heavy use of floating-point calculations. Floating-point operations include any operations that involve fractional numbers. It is also a common benchmark measurement for rating the speed of super computers.
