Each processor was capable of 25.6 gigaflops, giving a peak performance of 2.87 teraflops. For example, the TYANPSC uses 40 Xeon processors to achieve 256 gigaflops. Each MSP had 2 MB of cache and a peak computation rate of 18 gigaflops. This allowed the system to achieve world's best performance efficiencies of 4.5 gigaflops/watt. The system had a peak performance of 5 gigaflops (5 billion floating-point operations per second). The performance of this system is 50 Gigaflops (sustained performance).
