India will unveil 18 new petaFLOP supercomputers for weather forecasting in 2023: What are FLOPs in computing?
FLOPs or Floating-Point Operations per Second, is a commonly used metric to measure the computational performance – processing power and efficiency – especially in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI).

India is set to unveil 18 new petaFLOP supercomputers for weather forecasting in 2023. FLOPs, or Floating-Point Operations per Second, is a metric used to measure computational performance in high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. The new supercomputers are expected to improve weather forecasts by providing higher resolution and more accurate predictions of cyclones and ocean states. A petaFLOP is equal to a thousand teraFLOPs or 10^15 FLOPs. FLOPs are not the sole determinant of a computer's performance, as other factors like memory bandwidth and latency also play significant roles. Currently, India already uses petaFLOP computers for weather forecasting, such as 'Mihir' and 'Pratyush,' which will be decommissioned once the new supercomputers are unveiled.
