# Floating-point operation count mathematical notation

Floating-point operation count is a recurring research-paper notation family. Counts arithmetic operations required by a workload, separate from the rate…

## Public overview

Floating-point operation count is a recurring research-paper notation family. Counts arithmetic operations required by a workload, separate from the rate at which hardware executes those operations.

Floating-point operation count: Counts arithmetic operations required by a workload, separate from the rate at which hardware executes those operations. Example: A dense m by k times k by n matrix product performs roughly two m n k floating operations.
