In computing, a "FLOPS" is a measure of processor speed - "floating-point operations per second". This doesn't specify which particular operations, nor does it consider various aspects of computer architecture (eg. bus speed, pipelining operations, memory-access speed, caching....). Not bad for a ballpark figure though.
I would combine these into a working definition of "petaflops" but i'm watching the snowboarding, and anyway the word is reminding of rabbits' ears for some reason.

Have some Prefixes for biiiig numbers, incl. "peta-"
