IBM simulates 530 billon neurons, 100 trillion synapses on world’s fastest supercomputer | KurzweilAI

A thoughtful cognitive computing milestone?…

"IBM says it has now accomplished this milestone with its new “TrueNorth” system running on the world’s fastest operating supercomputer, the Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LBNL) Blue Gene/Q Sequoia, using 96 racks (1,572,864 processor cores, 1.5 PB memory, 98,304 MPI processes, and 6,291,456 threads).
IBM and LBNL achieved an unprecedented scale of 2.084 billion neurosynaptic cores* containing 53×10¹⁰  (530 billion) neurons and 1.37×10¹⁴ (100 trillion) synapses running only 1542 times slower than real time."
