I'd actually be interested in an estimate of the world's overall flop/s^2. Could someone please run a back of the envelope calculation for me, e.g. looking at least year's data?
We added 6.3 gigaFLOPS per second on 2022-23, based on an increase of 200 million gigaFLOPS observed on that period. This is in contrast to 20 gigaFLOPS per second in 2021-22. It’s nil in 2020-21, but that seems only partially attributable to the pandemic, as there appears to be a tick-tock pattern going back to 2013.
