It has been estimated (Kurzweil) that our brains can calculate at 10 petaflops per second, based on the number of neurons and the average number of connections per neuron.據估計， （ kurzweil ）表示，我們的大腦可以計算在10 petaflops每秒的基礎上，神經元數和平均連接數的百分之神經元。

Riken has developed a supercomputer that it says achieves maximum theoretical performance of 1 petaflops (1,000 teraflops).理研開發了一台超級計算機，它說，能達到的最高的理論表現1 petaflops （ 1000萬億次） 。 Though the special-purpose machine does not run Linpack, the benchmark software used for the Top 500 supercomputer ranking, its theoretical performance is nearly three times that of the top-ranked BlueGene/L installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.雖然特殊用途的機器不運行在LINPACK ，基準使用的軟件前500家超級計算機的排名，其理論的表現，是近3倍表示，在該排名第一的藍色基因/ L安裝在Lawrence Livermore國家實驗室。

Intel KK (Intel Corp.’s Japanese unit) and NEC subsidiary SGI Japan Ltd. collaborated with Riken on development of the system, which was designed as a dedicated machine for molecular dynamics simulation.英特爾KK （英特爾Corp 。旗下的日本股）和NEC附屬SGI的日本有限公司合作，與理研就制度的發展，這是設計為一個專用機的分子動力學模擬。 The supercomputer is installed at Riken’s Yokohama Institute, and Riken plans to show it off at an open house scheduled for Saturday (June 24).超級計算機是安裝於理研的橫濱研究所，理研計劃，以顯示它關閉在一個開放的眾議院定於週六（六月二十四日） 。

Dubbed the MDGrape-3, the molecular dynamics simulator comprises 201 units of Riken’s proprietary system and two types of Intel Xeon-based servers.被稱為mdgrape - 3 ，分子動力學模擬，包括201個單位的理研的專有系統和兩種類型的英特爾Xeon處理器為基礎的伺服器。 Each Riken unit has 24 MDGrape-3 chips, each offering 230 Gflops.每個理研單位有24個mdgrape - 3芯片，每提供230 GFLOPS的。 The chip was developed in 2004 as the core processing element for the supercomputer.該芯片是發達國家在2004年為核心的處理元素為超級計算機。 Foundry partner Hitachi Ltd. fabricated the chips on its HDL4N 130-nanometer process technology.晶圓代工合作夥伴日立公司製造的芯片就其hdl4n 130奈米制程技術。

By 2010, a single large computer would have the raw capacity of one of our brains.到2010年，一個單一的大型計算機將有原料的能力之一，我們的大腦。 Organizing the data and software will lag behind by another decade or so.組織數據和軟件將落後於另一十年或如此。

Web service centers like Google or Amazon or Ebay or multi-player games will likely have similar computing capacities as well, but have 100’s of millions of humans (ie. us) shaping their soon-to-be superhuman intelligence every minute with every click. Web服務中心，如Google或亞馬遜或易趣或多玩家遊戲，將可能有類似的計算能力很好，但有100的以百萬計的人類（即我們）塑造其快將超人的情報，每分鐘每按一下。

For $1,000, many people will be able to own an extra brain by 2017.為1000美元，許多人將可擁有額外的腦到2017年。
