The electronic brain gets closer

摘要

An IBM supercomputer has achieved a milestone in fulfilling the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's vision of developing electronic neuromor-phic (brain-simulation) machine technology that scales to biological levels. At the Supercomputing 2012 conference, IBM announced it had simulated an unprecedented scale of 2.084 billion neuro-synaptic cores containing 53×10~(10) neurons and 1.37×10" synapses running only 1542× slower than real time.
