In addition to the two floating point units, there's also the vector unit which can do 4 * 32-bit floating point multiply accumulates (vmaddfp) per cycle. I'd have to dig deeper into the docs to find if the bus can fully supply all three units without stalls.

    Yes, but those are single-precision calculations. As such they probably won't be that useful to most people doing high-performance computing.
