IBM is planning a a brain-inspired model for a new generation of highly-interconnected, asynchronous, parallel and large-scale computing systems based around the concept of cognitive computing. It is an ecosystem designed for programming neurosynaptic chips that have an architecture inspired by the function, low power, and compact volume of the brain
Cognitive computing systems can be trained with artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms. IBM Research says this sort of technology allows for the creation of “applications that mimic the brain’s abilities for perception, action, and cognition.”
IBM’s long-term goal is to build a chip system with ten billion neurons and a hundred trillion synapses, while consuming one kilowatt of power and occupying less than two liters of volume.
