TrueNorth
TrueNorth is a neuromorphic CMOS chip produced by IBM. It consists of 4096 hardware cores, each one simulating 256 programmable silicon "neurons" for a total of just over a million neurons. In turn, each neuron has 256 programmable "synapses" which convey the signals between them. Hence, the total number of programmable synapses is just over 268 million (2^28). In terms of basic building blocks, its transistor count is 5.4 billion. Since memory, computation, and communication are handled in each of the 4096 neurosynaptic cores, TrueNorth circumvents the von-Neumann-architecture bottlenecks and is very energy-efficient, consuming 70 milliwatts, about 1/10,000th the power density of conventional microprocessors.〔http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/how-ibm-got-brainlike-efficiency-from-the-truenorth-chip How IBM Got Brainlike Efficiency From the TrueNorth Chip〕 The SyNAPSE chip (introduced mid 2014) operates at lower temperatures and less power because it operates only when it needs, rather than all the time.()
Since this is a totally new architecture, programming it requires a fundamentally new way of thinking. IBM Research has started SyNAPSE University, which is a curriculum of lectures, hands-on exercises, and coaching that helps interested parties build these complex neurosynaptic systems. IBM is taking applications from scholars and researchers who want to work on and develop the SyNAPSE eco-system.〔(Brain Power ) IBM Research〕
