World’s Largest Neuromorphic Supercomputer Activated
Historic milestone achieved at the intersect of technology and the human brain.
“The ultimate objective for the project has always been a million cores in a single computer for real time brain modelling applications, and we have now achieved it, which is fantastic.” - Professor Steve Furber, The University of Manchester
Inspired by the human brain, the SpiNNaker is capable of sending billions of small amounts of information simultaneously. The SpiNNaker has a staggering 1 million processors that are able to perform over 200 million actions per second.
The supercomputer was also recently used to control a robot, called the SpOmnibot, to interpret real-time visual information and navigation.
