Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is to use IBM’s TrueNorth neurosynaptic chip in a system for evaluating machine learning. The system can process the equivalent of 16 million neurons and 4 billion synapses using 2.5W. It can infer complex cognitive tasks such as pattern recognition and integrated sensory processing far more efficiently than conventional chips. …
