Another common performance Figure is MFLOPS (million of floating-point operations per second), defined as MFLOPS = No. FP operations / (execution time × 106) but this figure has the same problems as MIPS. Consider the program in the following table, running on the two processors below.

Find the performance for the programs and compare it with MIPS and MFLOPS.
