MFLOPS - Millions of Floating Point Operations per Second

(mega-flops)

A measure of how a system handles floating point numbers. Also see FLOPS.

Note: Raw MFLOPS do not necessarily test a number of things that affect real floating point performance. Examples include cache size or design, memory bus speed, and pipelining efficiency to name a few. Also, even if factors for these items are introduced, integer performance in a CPU matters significantly. For these and other reasons MFLOPS are typically not used for performance measurements any longer. See SPEC for newer benchmarks.
