Question

Supercomputing speed is measured in what

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, computer performance is compared in (Floating Point Operations Per Second). A top super computer today is in the order of 10 PFLOPS (Peta FLOPS), or 10,000,000,000,000,000 FLOPS. That is a lot!

To give some perspective the CRAY-1 (1976) did 160 Mega flops (or 160,000,000), or 62,500,000 times slower than today’s super computers.

A typical high end CPU (eg Intel i7–7700K, 4.4 Mhz) used at home and at work is about 250 GFLOPS (or 250,000,000,000). An Nvidia 1080 Ti GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is running about 11 TFLOPs (or 11,000,000,000,000).
