# PetscGetFlops
Returns the number of flops used on this processor since the program began. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscGetFlops(PetscLogDouble *flops)
```
Not Collective


## Output Parameter
flops - number of floating point operations




## Notes
A global counter logs all PETSc flop counts.  The user can use
`PetscLogFlops()` to increment this counter to include flops for the
application code.

A separate counter `PetscLogGPUFlops()` logs the flops that occur on any GPU associated with this MPI rank
