Moravec claims [Deep Blue] to be equivalent to a general-purpose
processor having throughput on the order of 1-3 trillion instructions per
second (TIPS). [...] The host computer [that Deep Blue’s successor Deep
Junior ran on] was capable of a
peak throughput of approximately 15 billion instructions per second (GIPS).
If we consider the Deep Blue machine to be a 1.5 TIPS machine for arithmetic
convenience [....]
So “only 0.15 TIPS” should have been “only 0.015 TIPS”.
Yep. The source says:
So “only 0.15 TIPS” should have been “only 0.015 TIPS”.
