Supercomputers are of strategic importance, especially in developed countries. There is an alternative to these computers, which take up huge space and consume high energy. Accordingly, human scientists are developing a supercomputer that works like the neural networks in the brain. The project, in which Intel and Dell are partners, will be implemented in April. But what will this new generation supercomputer, as fast as the brain, change?
How does the brain-fast supercomputer DeepSouth work?
Neural networks in the human brain have the capacity to perform 228 trillion synaptic operations per second. It is said that this supercomputer developed in this sense reaches the same speeds. The neural networks in the brain have a structure that transfers synapses very quickly. Synapse is the connection points used by nerve cells to communicate between each other or with other cells. Western Sydney University, in partnership with Intel and Dell, has built a structure that mimics brain neural networks.
In the experiments, the computer transferred data very quickly, just like brain neural networks. However, a computer that is as fast as the brain uses much less data to transfer data. The aim here is to transfer small data very quickly. Unlike other supercomputers, instead of processing large data, DeepSouth transfers small data very quickly.
The brain-mimicking supercomputer is not trying to be the most powerful supercomputer in this sense. Although supercomputers are quite powerful, they consume a lot of energy. This new supercomputer consumes much less power than its competitors.
The strongest? China developed a supercomputer with domestic processor
China developed the Tianhe Xingyi supercomputer with its domestic processors. Even though global tests have not been carried out, it is breaking new ground.
Scientists find the supercomputer that mimics the brain important for brain research. It is possible that this new computer will make important discoveries, especially in finding the secrets of how the brain works. One of the biggest problems on the artificial intelligence side is excessive power consumption. Thanks to this new type of supercomputer, artificial intelligence technologies will also consume less power.
It is also expected that more powerful computers with less power will enter our lives after this technology. Scientists are excitedly waiting for what this new neural network technology will pave the way for computer technology.
Do you think DeepSouth, a supercomputer as fast as the brain, can really pave the way for new technologies? We are waiting your comments.
