MIPS and MFLOPS are somewhat adjusted for dierences in instruction
types, so this kind of measure is more instructive than simply a clock rate.
In fact the world’s fastest computers, the so-called supercomputers, are
most oen compared using MFLOPS.
To further complicate the issue, it is common to have more than one
processor in a computer. e term core is oen used as a way to dierenti-
ate the processor count. If you own a duo-core computer, then your com-
puter has eectively two primary processors and a quad-core computer
has four. Obviously, multiple processors are capable ...
