Brain Computing Power Compared to NVIDIA A100 GPU
By
–
The naive napkin math would go something like 1 brain ~= 1e11 neurons * 1e4 synapses * 1e1 fires/s = 1e16 FLOPS (i.e. 10 petaflops) NVIDIA A100 = 312e12 peak FLOPS, in-practice achievable utilization may be let’s say 50%, i.e. 156e12. Dividing you get 1 brain ~= 1e16 / 156e12 =
