When GPU makers quote performance in FLOPS...
> GeForce GTX 680: 3 TFLOPS
> Radeon RX480: 5 TFLOPS
> Tesla P100: 10.6 TFLOPS
Are they all using the FP32 FMADD instruction? What code are they executing to get these numbers, just one instruction in a loop across all cores?

as much as i'd love to agree that their marketing droids pull these numbers from their ass, i suspect there's some actual benchmarking going on. is there some simple CUDA program (PTX assembly?) you can run to verify these FLOPS?

It's a theoretical peak. Assume you can have a program executing a floating point operation on each core each cycle. Off of this you can get an idea of how much FLOPS you can get on a real world application.
