Don't mean to minimize the work involved, just trying to decipher the marketing speak.
- DesiLurker 10y agoneuromorphic chips try to mimic human brain's neuronal structure for computing, entirely new paradigm. checkout IBM truNorth architecture.
- mrstone 10y agoThey are a chip architecture that communicates similarly to how neurons do - i.e. spiking behaviours. Makes it easy to approximate some neural systems (such as a neuromorphic retina).
- pzone 10y agoI think the point is that even GPUs are suboptimal for neural network computation and we need something more specialized.
