NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTERS
Imagine how exciting it would be to work on a super computer which works more like a human brain.Steve ferber has made this impossible thing turn into reality . A million core version of machine that will eventually be able to simulate upto billions of neurons per second. ( We would take a short overview about the nerve cells which are known as neurons - these are located in the central nervous system which transmits impulses /information to every part of the body and vice versa ) Each of million cores can simulate roughly a millions synapses( space between two neurons) So depending on the model 1000 neurons with 1000 connections or 100 neurons with 10000 connections. To give an idea of scale, a mouse brain consists of around 100 million neurons and the human brain is 1,000 times bigger than that. (One billion neurons is one per cent of the scale of the human brain.) These computers are capable of completing more than 200 mi...
