IBM devises software for its experimental brain-like chips |
August 08, 2013
Following up on work commissioned by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), IBM has developed a programming paradigm, and associated simulator and basic software library, for its experimental SyNAPSE processor.The work suggests the processors could be used for extremely low-power yet computationally powerful sensor systems."Our end goal is to create a brain in a box," said Dharmendra Modha, and IBM Research senior manager who is the principal investigator for the project. With this technology, systems could one day be built that would "mimic the brain's ability for perception, action and cognition," he said.The work is a continuation of a DARPA project to design a system that replicates the way a human processes information.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
