Over the years, the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputers have reached teraFLOPS (10 12 FLOPS) in 1997 and petaFLOPS (10 15 FLOPS) in 2008, and the next milestone is exaFLOPS (10 18 FLOPS). You might have noticed that there is a turning point in 2008 where the increase in performance of the 500 th machine slowed down slightly.
