The correct option is (2)

It is used to measure the speed of the CPU.

Key Points

MFLOPs, an abbreviation for mega floating-point operations per second, is a commonly used indicator of how quickly computers can do floating-point computations.
MIPS (million instructions per second), which measures integer performance, is another widely used metric of computer speed and power.
MFLOPs are a commonly used metric for gauging how quickly floating-point calculations are processed by microprocessors.
The term FLOP, or floating point operations per second, refers to how quickly a computer can perform calculations.
A Giga FLOP is merely a GFLOP. So having GPU with 2 times higher GFLOP value is very likely to speed up the training process.
A central processing unit, also known as a CPU, is a piece of electronic equipment that executes commands from software, enabling a computer or other device to carry out its functions.
