By By Eduardo Arrufat Aug 8, 2013 in Science London - IBM has unveiled a new computing architecture on Wednesday whose inspiration comes from the human brain. Scientists hope that it will achieve brain level capabilities. Nevertheless, a new trend in the scientific community might be gestating over at the "We are working to create a Fortran for IBM created a multi-threaded, massively parallel and highly scalable software simulator, which comprises a network of neurosynaptic cores. As well, it created a highly parameterized spiking neuron model meant as a simple and digital “brain-like computer”. In the long term, IBM’s goal is to build a computer chip with ten billion neurons and a hundred trillion synapses with a power consumption of less than a kilowatt of power and in less than 20 cubic centimeters. It is taking the brain as its model. Just as Michelangelo (one of humanity greatest designer) did replicate the birds’ architecture in his flying machines designs, even if he didn’t have the modern knowledge of aerodynamics. Many attempts have been done in the past that try to measure or evaluate the capacity and potential of the human brain. We have landed a man on the Moon and we have been to the deepest of the oceanic trenches; however, the human brain is still a mystery to us.Nevertheless, a new trend in the scientific community might be gestating over at the J. Watson Research Center . Instead of trying to discover how the brain works by observation, why not try to replicate its architecture and then analyze the behavior. That is what IBM scientist showed on Wednesday, an all-new computer architecture that is based around the complexity of the human brain."We are working to create a Fortran for neurosynaptic chips ," IBM’s Dharmendra Modha said at the release event. "While complementing today's computers, this will bring forth a fundamentally new technological capability in terms of programming and applying emerging learning systems." The new software ecosystem will program silicon chips directly inspired by the brain’s size, function and minimal use of power. This breakthrough will support the next generation of applications that can mirror the brain capacity for perception, cognition and action.IBM created a multi-threaded, massively parallel and highly scalable software simulator, which comprises a network of neurosynaptic cores.
