• The supercomputer, named DeepSouth, is being developed by Western Sydney University in Australia.

• When it goes online next year, it will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second.

• It could one day help create a cyborg brain vastly more powerful than our own.

Our brains are remarkably energy efficient.

Using just 20 watts of power, the human brain is capable of processing the equivalent of an exaflop — or a billion-billion mathematical operations per second.
