First such supercomputer with over 2 billion artificial neurons mimics macaque brain, is expected to help advance human brain-inspired AI
Chinese engineers have unveiled the world’s first brain-like computer made up of more than 2 billion artificial neurons.
The Darwin Monkey is the latest generation of brain-inspired computers produced by Zhejiang University researchers.
“This is the world’s first brain-like computer based on a dedicated neuromorphic chip with more than 2 billion neurons,” the university said on its social media account on Saturday.
The computing system, made up of 960 Darwin 3 brain-inspired computing chips creating over 100 billion synapses, is “a step closer to achieving more advanced brain-like intelligence”, it said in the post.
