Researchers at Manchester
University have just switched on the world’s largest
neuromorphic supercomputer. While a neuromorphic supercomputer
may be the closest thing we have to an artificial brain, we are
still a long way off from building the huge head-shaped computer
from The Matrix: Revolutions - which is a good thing.
A neuromorphic supercomputer mimics the biological neural
activities of a human brain by emitting spikes of pure
electro-chemical energy. To achieve this, scientists at
Manchester University built the computer with one million
processors at its core.
So far SpiNNaker is able to make 200 trillion actions per second
and it took ten years to build.
