SpiNNaker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network Architecture) is a computer architecture designed by the Advanced Processor Technologies Research Group (APT) at the University of Manchester, led by Steve Furber, to simulate the human brain. It uses ARM processors in a massively parallel computing platform,[1] based on a six-layer thalamocortical model developed by Eugene Izhikevich.[2]
