- A teraflop is a measure of a computer's speed and can be expressed as:

A trillion floating point operations per second
10 to the 12th power floating-point operations per second
2 to the 40th power flops

Today's fastest parallel computing operations are capable of teraflop speeds. Scientists have begun to envision computers operating at petaflop speeds.
