A gigaflop (GFLOPS) is a measure of a computer's processing speed, specifically referring to its ability to perform one billion floating-point operations per second. A floating-point operation is a mathematical calculation involving numbers with decimal points, which is a common task in scientific research, 3D graphics, machine learning, and other complex computing fields.

FLOPS are crucial for applications that require complex calculations, for example weather forecasts, climate modeling, the simulation of physical processes, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Processors with high FLOPS values can work quickly and efficiently in those areas.
