"terra..." as a prefix means  10¹² ,
so the unit speed of this computer is 

                                             136.8 x 10¹² calcs/sec.

"micro..." as a prefix means  10⁻⁶ ,
so in that amount of time, the computer can do

         (136.8 x 10¹² calc/sec) x (1 x 10⁻⁶ sec)  =  136.8 x 10⁶  calcs.

That's ...

... 136.8 mega-calcs

... 0.1368 giga-calcs

... 136,800 kilo-calcs

... 136,800,000 calculations

A supercomputer can do 136.8 terra calculations per second, which is equivalent to 1.368 × 10⁸ calculations per microsecond.

What is a conversion factor?

A conversion factor is an arithmetical multiplier for converting a quantity expressed in one set of units into an equivalent expressed in another.

We want to convert 136.8 Tc/s to c/μs. The required conversion factors are:

  • 1 Tc = 10¹² c
  • 1 s = 10⁶ μs

136.8 Tc/s × (10¹² c/1 Tc) × (1 s/10⁶ μs) = 1.368 × 10⁸ c/μs

A supercomputer can do 136.8 terra calculations per second, which is equivalent to 1.368 × 10⁸ calculations per microsecond.
