There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year, so if you spend a thousand dollars per second, you would be spending 31, 536,000,000 dollars per year. So, if I divide a trillion by 31,536,000,000 the result is 31.7 years.
Terra refers to the number trillion, so a terra Hertz is one trillion cycles per second.
1000 ( one thousand) cycles per second. kilo - prefix meaning one thousand
You could spend a fraction of a penny every second and spend a trillion dollars over a very long time. However to spend a trillion dollars in a certain amount of time it's $(1000000000 / Months * 2678400) per second. So over 5 months it would be about $76.67 per second.
TRUE
Petaflops.
Petaflop
A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed:- A thousand trillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
- A petaflop can be expressed as a thousand trillion floating point operations per second; it is a measure of performance for the fastest computers in the world, used in discussions of supercomputing.
It is called a Terraflop. "Terra" is a trillion and "flop" stands for floating point operations.
There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year, so if you spend a thousand dollars per second, you would be spending 31, 536,000,000 dollars per year. So, if I divide a trillion by 31,536,000,000 the result is 31.7 years.

A FLOP is a FLoating-point OPeration; it usually refers to the number of floating-point operations per second. One Teraflop is a trillion floating-point operations per second.
I would have to say yes, since many PCs on the market are rated at more than 1 gigahertz (giga is 10^9 which is a thousand million).However, assuming "calculations" refers to arithmetic operations, it must be noted that many of these operations take many more than one machine cycle to complete. On the basis presented in the first part of the answer, the correct answer to the question is that a modern PC might be able to carry out thousands of millions of calculations per second, particularly if these operations are of a primitive nature (add, subtract, etc).In real terms, the answer is probably No, because most calculations require a mix of operations, including more complex operations than addition or subtraction. In addition to the pure arithmetic operation, operands also need to be obtained (from memory) and results may need to be stored, etc.In conclusion, most average PCs today will struggle to reach one thousand million useful arithmetic calculations per second, but will generally reach one thousand million operation per second.
