Supercomputer with bio-inspired neural network mimicking human brain ready for operation

November 5, 2018 AstroJane Syndicated Comments Off

A giant supercomputer built by the University of Manchester is now ready to start running real-time simulations of regions of the brain. Named SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network Architecture), this machine operates via a “massively parallel” computing platform, meaning it sends small bits of information to multiple destinations at the same time, just like the brain. […]
