SC18 Preview: Steve Furber on Brain-Inspired Massively-Parallel Computing
by Rich Brueckner from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#3WXXT)
SC18 continues its series of Invited Talk previews with this quick look at "Brain-Inspired Massively-Parallel Computing" by Stephen Furber. "The SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network Architecture) platform is an example of a highly flexible digital neuromorphic platform, based upon a massively-parallel configuration of small processors with a bespoke interconnect fabric designed to support the very high connectivity of biological neural nets in real-time models. Although designed primarily to support brain science, it can also be used to explore more applications-oriented research."
