'''Bytes per [[FLOP]]''' ('''B/F''') is a ratio that represents the required number of [[bytes]] to be transferred between the [[execution unit]] of a [[microprocessor]] and the off-chip memory divided by the number of [[floating-point operations]] required for a particular task.

Bytes per FLOP (B/F) is a measurement of memory intensity per compute work or the amount of bytes required to be transferred between the execution unit and the off-chip memory relative to the number of floating-point operations required for a particular task. B/F is a common figure of merit in the HPC community used to analyze the peak performance of a system under memory-bound workloads.
