| This research addresses a major gap in our conceptual understand- ing of synaptic and brain-like network dynamics. Over the course of several years we have designed and implemented increasingly complex and powerful brain-like simulators which apply recent ad- vances in computer and networking technology towards the goal of understanding brain function in terms of pulse-coded informa- tion networks. These simulations have been run on increasingly powerful clusters of computers. Currently we have a cluster of 128 processors with a total of 256 GB of RAM and more than a Terabyte of disk storage, interconnected with a Myrinet 2000 high- speed/low-latency interconnection network. On this cluster we are able to run simulations on the order of 3 million synapses per pro- cessor, with the capability of receiving stimulus input from remote devices. | |
