The most powerful supercomputer today, has 1 million processing cores, equal to 1% of human brain power
Researcher at the University of Manchester, UK has just introduced the world's most powerful supercomputer called SpiNNaker. This supercomputer has millions of processing cores and 1,200 circuit boards connected to each other behave like a human brain. This is the super computer that works like the largest human brain in the world today. Scientists must have spent 10 years designing and installing to complete it.
The task of this supercomputer is to create simulations of neurons. Currently, SpiNNaker is the computer that can simulate the most nerve cells in real time.
Scientists at Manchester University have been studying and developing this supercomputer since April 2006 with 500,000 chips. Each chip consists of 18 processing cores. At that time, SpiNNaker was able to model 80,000 neurons in the cerebral cortex, the brain region censoring data from the senses; Simulation of basic lymph nodes, brain region affected by Parkinson's disease.
SpiNNaker's 18 core chip structure.
Later, researchers upgraded SpiNNaker's capacity to 1 million processors. Currently, SpiNNaker can achieve about 200 trillion actions at the same time and will be a very powerful support tool for researchers in building a brain machine.
SpiNNaker supercomputer with its power is an important step in world medicine research. Researchers hope SpiNNaker can simulate a billion neurons in real time. SpiNNaker is the most powerful supercomputer in the world today but it can only simulate 1% of the human brain size.
