IBM通过模仿人脑的工作原理打造出了第二代的SyNAPSE芯片。该项目的负责人Dharmendra Modha:“它就像一台超级电脑被但只有一张邮票的大小,并且比羽毛还轻。”不止这样,它的功耗和助听器差不多。该芯片有一百万个神经元,2.56亿个神经突触,和4096个神经突触内核。这些元件和大脑的组成相近,并且可以像大脑一样运作。他们被分布在64X64的阵列当中并且本身就具有储存能力。神经突触内核之问能够通过芯片内部的线路连接,协同工作。该芯片能够和4000种芯片搭配使用,并创造一台能够“思考”的机器。 IBM created the second-generation SyNAPSE chip by mimicking the working principle of the human brain. Dharmendra Modha, head of the project: “It’s like a supercomputer but only one stamp and lighter than a feather.” More than that, it consumes as much power as a hearing aid. The chip has one million neurons, 256 million synapses, and 4096 neuronal synaptic cores. These components are similar in composition to the brain and work like a brain. They are distributed in a 64 × 64 array and inherently have storage capabilities. Nerve synaptic inner core of the question can be connected through the chip line, work together. The chip can be used with 4000 chips and create a “think” machine.
