Brain chip from IBM

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.

UNIX : How to ignore lines with certain names

Sometimes we need to ignore multiple lines with certain words and get the list out of the file. usually it will be a log file to read . The below grep command can be used to ignore multiple words present in a text file. Lets say the file contain $ cat list.txt apple orange apple banana papaya Now we need to ignore line with orange , banana and papaya . So we can use the below grep command. $ cat list.txt | grep -Ev "orange|banana|papaya" apple apple It will ignore lines with the words in -v part of grep.

UNIX : unpack and pack using tar

Tarball or tar is a utility in linux to unpack or pack the files. Lets say we have a file name hello.tar.gz which is packed and compressed. To unpack the file use the below command > tar xvzf hello.tar.gz This is unpack the compressed tarball file to the directory hello in current location. To pack a list of files to a compressed tarball file , we can follow the below steps. Let say we have the following list of files in Hello directory. > cd Hello > ls helloworld.py README.txt Move back to parent directory and give the below command. > cd .. > tar zcvf hello.tar.gz Hello This will create the compressed tar file in the current location
