About FLOPS of tms320s6671

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6671

Hello,

I should use DSP in new project, but  do not have experience of DSP.

I am confused about unit of FLOPS.

Please let me know answer of below questions or any related site.

1>

I read datasheet that FLOPS of tms320c6671 is 20GFLOPS at 1.25GHz.

I think that 6671 have eight functional units which each can execute one instruction per clock cycle, so FLOPs should be 10GFLOPS (8 x 1.25G).

 What is FLOPS and how calculate flops of 6671 as  20Gflops?

2>

How I can estimate FLOPS in my application?

Is the result of estimation same meaning with FLOPS of 6671? 

If my application is required 8GFLOPS, can I use 6671?
