The HUMAN BRAIN
Your desktop computer is just starting to get to the point where it can "understand" speech and take dictation, translating spoken words into written words. It can only understand one speaker, and that speaker has to train it for about 20 minutes, and the dictation software will still make a lot of mistakes. So 100 million instructions per second can barely handle dictation.
Your brain, on the other hand, can understand any number of speakers. It needs no training and will make zero mistakes. It may even be able to understand multiple languages! And the speech processing portion of your brain is just one small part of the whole package -- your brain can also process complex visual images, control your entire body, understand conceptual problems and create new ideas. Your brain is made up of about one trillion cells with 100 trillion connections between those cells. We might take a rough estimate and say it is handling 10 quadrillion instructions per second, but it really is hard to say.
TECHINICALLY:
The world's fastest supercomputers are as follows:
IBM's BlueGene/L - 360 teraflops
IBM's BGW - 115 teraflops
IBM's ASC Purple - 93 teraflops
Another supercomputer called MDGrape-3, built by the Japanese company RIKEN, has a theoretical maximum speed of 1 petaflop (1 guadrillion operations per second), which is three times faster than the BlueGene/L. But MDGrape-3 can't run the official ranking software of the TOP500 list, so BlueGene/L remains at the top of the list at 360 trillion operations per second, which is pretty fast...but it's still not as fast as your brain.

MDGrape-3 is the first fastest computer in the world and it's three times faster than IBM's BlueGene/L.

IBM System Blue Gene
This spring, NNSA and IBM announced that a new world record for a scientific application was set on Blue Gene by achieving a sustained performance of 207.3 teraflops on the "Qbox" computer code for conducting materials science simulations critical to national security.
note IBM is one box
the MDGRAPE-3 consists of 201 units of 24 custom,, so its more like a room full of pc...

The Blue Gene/L at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Built by IBM, it is capable of 280.6 trillion calculations per second.

IBM's Blue Gene/L or build yourself a custom one of course you would be looking at a couple thousand dollars in just the hardware might not even be possible.

Your brain is the fastest computer than any thing else. I`m not joking, it`s true if you use to improve your knowledge.

One of the super computers. I forget which exactly is in the lead now. Forget getting one. Its out of your league.
