~"Traversed Edges Per Second (TEPS) is a benchmark for measuring a computer’s ability to communicate information internally. Given several assumptions, we can also estimate the human brain’s communication performance in terms of TEPS, and use this to meaningfully compare brains to computers. We estimate that (given these assumptions) the human brain performs around  0.18 – 6.4 * 1014 TEPS. This is within an order of magnitude more than existing supercomputers.

At current prices for TEPS, we estimate that it costs around $4,700 – $170,000/hour to perform at the level of the brain. Our best guess is that ‘human-level’ TEPS performance will cost less than $100/hour in seven to fourteen years, though this is highly uncertain."
