@lennart apologies if this is a silly question, but either there’s an error in footnote 4, or I misunderstand something fundamental:
A petaflop/s is 1015 floating point operations per second for one day. A day has 86,400seconds≈105seconds. Therefore, 1020 floating point operations
Shouldn’t this read something like (in verbatim spoken words)
“A petaflop per second is ten to the power of five floating point opeations per second. A day has [...] 10 to the power of five seconds. Therefore, a ‘petaflop-per-second’ DAY is 10 to the power of twenty floating point operations.”
You’ve said a petaflop/s is x flop/s for one day, which seems like a typo maybe?
Would you say “petaflop-per-second” days if reading out loud?

You’re right. Corrected, thanks!
