The DeepSouth supercomputer will be the first machine ever built that can simulate spiking neural networks at the scale of an entire human brain... Western Sydney University ..."
“Progress in our understanding of how brains compute using neurons is hampered by our inability to simulate brain like networks at scale," says International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems Director, Professor André van Schaik. "Simulating spiking neural networks on standard computers using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and multicore Central Processing Units (CPUs) is just too slow and power intensive. Our system will change that. This platform will progress our understanding of the brain and develop brain-scale computing applications in diverse fields including sensing, biomedical, robotics, space, and large-scale AI applications.”
DeepSouth is expected to go online in April 2024. The research team expects it'll be able to process massive amounts of data at high speed, while being much smaller than other supercomputers and consuming much less energy thanks to its spiking neural network approach.
It's modular and scalable, using commercially available hardware, so it may be expanded or contracted in the future to suit various tasks. The goal of the enterprise is to move AI processing a step closer to the way a human brain does things, as well as learning more about the brain and hopefully making advances that'll be relevant in other fields.
It's fascinating to note that other researchers are working on the same problem from the opposite direction, with a number of teams now starting to use actual human brain tissue as part of cyborg computer chips – with impressive results."...
