How is the power of processors measured?

The power of processors (computers) are generally measured in MIPS, or Million Instructions Per Second. However, this is a subjective term because it depends on the instruction mix, cache hit/miss ratio, processor versus cache versus memory speed, and various other factors. Benchmark tests for processors are very complex, diverse, and relatively standardized so that useful comparisons can be made from them.

Computers today make how many computations per second?

You are asking what the processing speed is and the answer varies for individual madels. The speed is measured in parts of a second (rather than by the second) and many newer computers are now built with two processors that work together to further increase the processing speed and capacity.
