I'll help with a layman explanation in addition to what op already defined.
Teraflops is a measure of raw compute power often used to measure GPUs(but isn't really accurate to use to compare 2 different kinds, but that's a whole nother conversation). Exaflops are a million times more than teraflops.
Right, but flops is floating point operations per second. Adding another /s makes it acceleration.
Where is the other s?
