SpiNNaker: A million ARM cores to host brain simulator
Up to a million ARM processor cores are going to be linked together to simulate the workings of the human brain in a research project in the U.K. The chips, designed at Manchester University and manufactured in Taiwan, form the building blocks for a massively parallel computer called SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network architecture).
BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Please note 1GB DDR atop of ARM multicore. Architecturally, resembles to Intel Knight Corner.
