How many flops in Ipad2?

It Would Take 61 Million iPads 2s To Match The Power Of The World’s Best Supercomputer
HOW-MANY-FLOPS-IN-IPAD-2

The iPad 2 has some impres­sive mobile sil­i­con inside it. The A5 proces­sor is a dual-core affair with a 1GHZ clock speed, capa­ble of about 171 megaflops (or about 171 100 floating-point oper­a­tions per sec­ond).

Not bad, right? But how does the iPad 2 stack up against the most pow­er­ful com­put­er in the world, Fujit­su’s K Super Com­put­er?

Not too well, accord­ing to the guys at Royal Ping­dom. In fact, you would need about 61.5 mil­lion iPad 2s to match the 10 Bil­lion megaflops of the K Com­put­er.

That’s enough iPad 2s that if you stacked them on top of one anoth­er, the pile would be 540 kilo­me­ters high. That’s the equiv­a­lent of about 1,700 Eif­fel Tow­ers stacked end-to-end.

Well, sure. Fine. But can the K com­put­er run Infin­i­ty Blade 2? Thought not.

Sharing Iphone and Ipad apps

Daily Tip: How to share iPhone and iPad apps you like via the App Store

Apple has posted a short tip on how to share the iPad and iPhone apps you like right from the iTunes App Store page. If you click or tap an App Store link here at TiPb, or are simply browsing and come across something you know will interest a friend or special someone, it’s great to be able to send it them via email. Here’s how.

Whether you shop on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use Tell a Friend and Gift This App to share your enthusiasm with friends. On an app’s page in the App Store on the computer, click the downward pointing triangle next to the Buy App or Free App button to see the options–Tell a Friend, which lets you send an email link, and Gift this App, which lets you buy the app for someone else. On the iPhone and iPod touch, scroll down to the bottom of an app’s page to find the buttons for those options. On the iPad, use the links on the upper right of an app’s page. In all cases, you’ll be asked to sign in with your Apple ID if you haven’t already, before you complete your intended action.

There you go, that’s it! If you have any other cool ways to share your apps, let me know!
