Low-Power Chips to Model a Billion Neurons

IEEE Spectrum – A miniature, massively parallel computer, powered by a million ARM processors, could produce the best brain simulations yet. The average human brain packs a hundred billion or so neurons—connected by a quadrillion (10^15) constantly changing synapses—into a space the size of a cantaloupe. It consumes a paltry 20 watts, much less than …
