The world's biggest artificial brain

World’s fastest brain...million processing cores...goosebumps!

Another first in the world of super computers - this million-core neuromorphic computer is designed to mimic the human brain, this is the first step to replicating the power of the brain with silicon. I still wonder what I call #SocialDueDiligence went into these progressions?! How much time and money and testing did they do in that respect? What were the findings and what preventative measures did they put into place for the lasting effect of technology will have on our lives? Accepted that we can’t foresee the future, and 20/20 is hindsight, however, we do have historical human behaviour and enough knowledge and experience to throw caution to the wind. I’m with #ElonMusk with this. #AI #neuromorphic #NeuromorphicComputing #NeuromorphicChip #Spinnaker #SteveFurber #SocialDueDiligence #SDD #technology https://lnkd.in/gMf6HDp

The first steps in silicon brain realization.After 12 years of work, researchers at the University of Manchester in England have completed construction of a "SpiNNaker" (Spiking Neural Network Architecture) supercomputer. It can simulate the internal workings of up to a billion neurons through a whopping one million processing units. But still there is a long way. Imagine that Human brain contains approximately 100 Billion neurons. This super computer has only 1 Billion neurons but it is just a beginning phase. Remember the IBM first computing machine, so congratulations Professor Steve Furber)

1,000,000 core network can model a neural ganglia. Brains are pretty neat... for context this is likely just part of a worms “brain”. https://lnkd.in/ecFAB5q

Useful but don't go too far (100% brain simulation with no body is unethical).

SpiNNaker’s architecture supports an exceptional level of communication among its processors, behaving much like a brain’s neural network does
