The funny thing is that FLOPS means floating point operations (per second) and SHA256 computations (the core Bitcoin hashing algorithm) take exactly 0 (zero) floating point ops as they consist of integer and bitwise ops only. Besides floating point operations are usually slower than integer and logical ones.

Bottom line is - measuring Bitcoin performance in FLOPS is wrong! Smiley
