Gigaom

The hardware necessary to simulate the activity of 1.73 billion nerve cells connected by 10.4 trillion synapses (just 1 percent of a brain’s total neural network) for 1 biological second: 82,944 processors on the K supercomputer and 1 petabyte of memory (24MB per synapse). That 1 second of biological time took 40 minutes, on one of the world’s most powerful systems, to compute.

In other words, it takes an entire warehouse filled with processors 2400 times as long to simulate one miserable second of only 1% of the total human brain.

On second thought, Skynet is NOT taking over and all of the computers in the world, even if they could manage to work together, may still not be smarter then a 5th grader…
