I really appreciate the feedback, but the claim is that the performance scales linearly with cores, and it does. Also that it runs on GPUs, and it does. Yet, asking what is its "floating point operations per second" is nonsense, because it is not doing floating point computations. It is doing interactions. Thus the "interactions per second" term, which I didn't invent, it is the term used on the domain's literature.
I truly want to help here, but that is like asking us to tell you how many gallops per second hour car does. It just makes no sense in context. If I did invent some conversion, I would be lying, and that would be much worse than using a non-familiar term. The way to compare across languages is to benchmark and report on time. Which is like "horsepower" in that sense, as it applies to both domains.
