One million ARM CPU to simulate the brain

British researchers from the University of Southampton, Cambridge and Sheffield working on the project Spinnaker (Spiking Neural Network architecture and network architecture of neurons spiked in French) which is to bring together a million ARM processors in a node that will be used to simulate 1% of the human brain and better understand the functions of its various regions.

Each chip in the heart of this system contains 18 ARM processors. The architecture was designed by the University of Manchester is also one of the major players in the project. The first copies were delivered and tested. Scientists hope the machine will test the assumptions of psychologists and neurologists, to develop new cures and better understand the processing of information by the brain.
