<?php require_once("docutil.php"); page_head("Credit and FLOPS"); echo " The average FLOPS (floating point operations per second) achieved by a computer or group of computers can be estimated from its Recent Average Credit (RAC) as follows: <pre> GigaFLOPs = RAC/100 TeraFLOPS = RAC/100,000 </pre> (Remember that a 1 GigaFLOP machine, running full time, produces 100 units of credit in 1 day). <p> The credit figures for a particular day may be distorted if a project is catching up or falling behind on validation (the process or granting credit). Thus to get accurate FLOPS estimates you should look at average RAC over a period of a week or so. "; page_tail(); ?>
