Most of the fastest 100 computers in the world can execute 5 Trillion (5,000,000,000,000) floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
The new Fastest Supercomputer, the IBM Roadrunner, just achieved 1 PetaFLOPS (1 quadrillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000 computations per second in early June, 2008)
The actual measured speed was 1.047 PetaFLOPS.
However, it is still being built - and should achieve 1.7 PetaFLOPS by the end of 2008.
