Professor Steve Furber - with brain

SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network architecture) is an academic project in the U.K. that plans to connect up to one million ARM processor cores to form a massively parallel computer that can simulate the workings of the human brain (see A million ARM cores to host brain simulator)

A team led by Professor Steve Furber at the University of Manchester has received back from Taiwan the specialized 18-core ARM processor that is the basic building block of the SpiNNaker machine.



Professor Furber discusses the human brain at a recent lecture.
