The total computing power of the Bitcoin network has exceeded one exaflops (thousand petaflops). This is more than the speed of 500 most powerful supercomputers combined. However, the evaluation of Bitcoin performance can not be called accurate, because the network does not produce floating-point operations, relying solely on integer calculations.
Bitcoin network performance is usually determined by amount computed checksum ("hashes") per second. It was found that the "cost" of a hash is 12.7 thousand floating-point operations. At the moment, the calculation speed has passed for 80 terahash per second, which corresponds to one exaflops. Related Products :
