Definition: exaFLOPS


(EXA FLoating point OPerations per Second) One quintillion floating point operations per second. For example, in 2021, Tesla's supercomputer achieved 1.8 exaFLOPS. Comprising a total of 5,760 NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) cores, it is used to train deep neural networks for Tesla's Autopilot self-driving system.

One ExaFLOPS in One Server Rack
AI datacenters have rooms full of server racks in order to achieve exaFLOPS speeds. However, in 2025, NVIDIA condensed its GPUs, CPUs and NVLink network technology into water-cooled rack-mounted modules that enable a single rack to achieve one exaFLOPS. See exabyte, FLOPS and space/time. For crypto computations, see exahash.
