IBM brain chip connections |
IBM researchers unveiled computer chip that emulate the way human brain process information.The microprocessor developed is claimed comes closer to ever replicating the human brain.IBM said their researchers had created basic design of the first neurosynaptic computing chip that recreated the phenomena between spiking neurons and synapses in a biological system,such as brain.
Using digital silicon circuits inspired by neurobiology,the cognitive chips contain no biological element.Cognitive computers may eventually be used for understanding human behavior as well as environmental monitoring.The first two prototype chips are now undergoing testing. The two chips called 'core' have successfully demonstrated simple applications like navigation,machine vision, pattern recognition,associative memory and classification. Both are having 256 computational cores.One chip has 262,144 programmable synapses, while the other contains 65,536 learning synapses.The cognitive computing architecture has no set programing,integrates memory with processor and mimics the brain's event - driven,distributed and parallel processing.
