Intel's 'Pohoiki Springs' network of brain chips may be asked to help fight coronavirus |
March 19, 2020
Intel said Wednesday that it has completed “Pohoiki Springs,” the name for its network of 768 of its Loihi neuromorphic “brain chips.” The company will use Pohoiki Springs for machine learning applications, including a possible look at how the coronavirus spreads.The launch of Pohoiki Springs comes a bit later than expected. Intel’s roadmap that it established last July called for it to be delivered to researchers by the end of the year.
