 August 8, according to foreign media reports,
As with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) co-phased research project, IBM announced late Wednesday a new feature based on calculations of the human brain architecture that enables next generation applications in perception, behavioral and cognitive aspects of efficiency comparable to the human brain.

IBM in 2011 developed a "neural synapses (neurosynaptic) computer chip", you can simulate the human brain cognition and activities capabilities. Last year, by means of the world's second largest supercomputer, IBM successfully simulated 530 billion neurons.

The IBM joint project with DARPA called SyNAPSE (Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics, neurological adaptive plastic miniature electronic systems can be). The project's ultimate goal is to establish a set containing one billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses "humanoid brain" computer, and its size and power consumption but also with the human brain.

SyNAPSE project leader, IBM's chief development officer and senior managers Kazakhstan (Dharmendra Modha) said: "We have developed a new computer architecture, so we can not continue to use the old era of the future programming language. We have developed a new programming model. "

Mohammad said: "We are synapse chip to create a kind 'formula translator' (Fortran
This technique not only to enhance the functionality of the computer now, but also will bring programming applications as well as emerging new learning system fundamental technological breakthrough. "

This week, in Dallas at the International Joint Conference Neural Networks (The International Joint Conference on Neural Networks) on, IBM will showcase the project's third phase of its SyNAPSE research. Up to now, DAPRA been provided to the project total $ 53 million in research funding. IBM will work with Cornell University and iniLabs laboratories to seek cooperation, and has been with the other six universities and several government departments under the super computer for a long time.

This time, IBM further research in this field, has launched a new software ecosystem and programming model, through the chip is programmed to simulate the human brain's low-power, compact size and other features.

The ecosystem includes multi-threaded software simulator, supports a wide range of neurons neural computing model, associated procedures, as well as prominent representatives neural network blueprint module.

IBM said that the ecosystem will bring to market high-parametric neural model, can form the basis for calculation humanoid brain information processing unit. Such systems have the right space, time, and multi-modal environment of memorizing, perception, and even the ability to make action.
