%N Decimal expansion of the maximum performance (operations per second) of an "ultimate laptop".

%C The "ultimate laptop" is a hypothetical computer formed by compressing a kilogram of matter into a black hole the size of its Schwarzschild radius.

%C Every physical system holds binary digits in the states of its particles. "Computation" makes changes in those states. A system with average energy E can perform a maximum of 2 * E / (Pi * A254181) logical operations per second. The "ultimate laptop" turns all of its matter into energy.

%C Bremermann's limit gives an even tighter bound of 1.35639... * 10^50 operations per second if the laptop is self-contained. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 18 2016
