DARPA’s SyNAPSE Develops Brain Mimicking 5.4 Billion Transistor Chip
August 12, 2014 @ 02:40 PMDARPAs Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE) program has developed a new chip that mimics brains power-saving efficiency; uses 100x less power for complex processing than modern chips, DARPA said in a statement. The SyNAPSE chip is designed by researchers at IBM and is loaded with more than 5 billion transistors and boasts more than 250 million “synapses,” or programmable logic points, analogous to the connections between neurons in the brain
