Thomas Ray <snak...@thecore.com> wrote in article <5p20eh$87r$1...@wolfen.thecore.com>... > 1.4 Teraflops would be the equivalent of 1.4 Million MHZ, FYI Ermmmm... the "flops" rating has nothing to do with the clock speed. 'Flops' is short for 'floating point operations per second', hence a teraflop is one trillion ops per second. So, if you had a massively parallel machine with one million processors, and you could do one operation per clock cycle, and your processors were running at 1 Hz, you'd still have a 1 Megaflop machine. --Craig
