The term is commonly used in association with a numeric value such as thousand instructions per second (kIPS), million instructions per second (MIPS), Giga instructions per second (GIPS), or million operations per second (MOPS).

There's two million emails per second.

This limitation reduces the effectiveness of pipelining, but the separate XMM registers do allow SIMD and scalar floating point operations to be mixed without the performance hit from explicit MMX floating point mode switching.

Floating point numbers Holders for floating point numerical values are typically either a word or a multiple of a word.

The thousand instructions per second (kIPS) unit is rarely used today, as most current microprocessors can execute at least a million instructions per second.

Floating point and SIMD A dedicated floating point processor with 80 bit internal registers, the 8087, was developed for the original 8086.

Towards the end of the production run for the launch of the euro , the total production capacity needed was one billion banknotes per month , which meant 33 million per day , 1,400,000 per hour , 23,000 per minute or approximately 400 per second .

That's 300 million years per minute.

Whereas 1 Hz is 1 cycle per second, 1 Bq is 1 aperiodic event per second.

The Japanese had, for the first time, created the fastest supercomputer the NEC Earth Simulator taking the primary from the U.S., and about two years later this, by the way, is measuring the trillion floating point operations per second that the computer's capable of running sigh of relief IBM Blue Gene has just edged ahead of the NEC Earth Simulator.

That's half a million dollars per pound.

There's about 10 million phage per job.

Commonly used are ppm (parts per million, ), ppb (parts per billion, ), ppt (parts per trillion, ) and ppq (parts per quadrillion, ).

And it creates a simple, low speed data stream in 10,000 bits per second, 20,000 bits per second.

This is regularly several hundred parts per million.

At the rate of about two and a half parts per million per year.

Fusing hydrogen into helium releases around 0.7 of the fused mass as energy, so the Sun releases energy at the mass energy conversion rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second, 384.6 yotta watts (), or 9.192 megatons of TNT per second.

And like this magnificent origami, cells are developing at one million cells per second at four weeks, as it's just folding on itself.

Due to the nature of its applications, Cell is optimized towards single precision floating point computation.

Six pence per second, Bob reminds her.

Sargasso Sea's three million square miles of floating forest is being gathered up to feed cows.

The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second, although it may be measured in other units such as degrees per second, degrees per hour, etc.

The volume of the Gulf Stream dwarfs all rivers that empty into the Atlantic combined, which barely total 0.6 million cubic metres per second.

The province had an estimated 743 centenarians per million inhabitants in September 2010, the highest ratio in Japan, overtaking Okinawa Prefecture (667 centenarians per million).
