10^4 petaflop-second/days.
They missed an opportunity to be the first paper to measure their computation in mole flops.
- lopmotr 6y agoRather, chemists constantly miss opportunities to use actual numbers instead of their lazy legacy mole nonsense. Nobody really seems to use SI prefixes beyond peta or occasionally exa. But they could have called this 900 zetta-flop. (10^4 peta-flop/s-days)
- Veedrac 6y agoA petaflop/s-day is a nice unit because it's roughly what you get from running the fastest AI accelerators for a day. The V100 they used is 0.13 petaflop/s FP16, for example, and the recently announced A100 ups that to 0.3.
- nullc 6y agoBut "mole flop" is one of the best units ever. It's better than furlongs per fortnight.
