title: How can I determine the number of arithmetic operations per second of a processor?
body: <p>What is the best way to determine how many additions, multiplications, exponentiations etc does a processor perform per second according to its specifications (frequency, memory type etc)? E.g. an Intel i7? The goal is to estimate the performance of a program/service before choosing on what machine it is deployed.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
