HRL.aiThe following has ben published on Topix. It is one of the few articles around NOT on IBM…. Dr. Narayan Srinivasa talks about the program. HRL has a long and successful track record in modeling complex cognitive inspired architectures, which ultimately will be a great advantage in the SyNAPSE program when it will be the time to actually use the chip to perform meaningful computations. Note the typo in the article “‘The follow-on phases of the project will create a technology that functions like the brain of a cat, which comprises 108 neurons and 1012 synapses,’ Srinivasa said. ‘The human brain has roughly 1011 neurons and 1015 synapses.” The formatting got obviously screwed up… we are talking about 10^11 and 10^15 (otherwise, a cell phone chip will suffice…).
