Compacity!? Is that a word!?

Do you mean computational power!? That's impossible to say, but a rough estimate may be about 0!.1 quadrillion instructions per second (100 million MIPS)!. In comparison, the fastest supercomputer in the world, called Roadrunner and devised and built by engineers and scientists at I!.B!.M!. and Los Alamos National Laboratory, is capable of handling 1!.026 quadrillion calculations per second

So the fastest supercomputer in the world is ten times as fast as the human brain, roughly!.
HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER!!!

"The computational power of the human brain is difficult to ascertain, as the human brain is not easily paralleled to the binary number processing of today's computers!. For instance, multiplying two large numbers can be accomplished in a fraction of a second with a typical calculator or desktop computer, while the average human may require a pen-and-paper approach to keep track of each stage of the calculation over a period of five or more seconds!. Yet, while the human brain is calculating a math problem in an attentive state, it is subconsciously processing data from millions of nerve cells that handle the visual input of the paper and surrounding area, the aural input from both ears, and the sensory input of millions of cells throughout the body!. The brain is regulating the heartbeat, monitoring oxygen levels, hunger and thirst requirements, breathing patterns and hundreds of other essential factors throughout the body!. It is simultaneously comparing data from the eyes and the sensory cells in the arms and hands to keep track of the position of the pen and paper as the calculation is being performed!. It quickly traverses a vast, interconnected network of cells for relevant information on how to solve the problem it is presented, what symbols to write and what their functions are, as it graphs their shape and communicates to the hand how to make accurate and controlled strokes to draw recognizable shapes and numbers onto a page!."
