Computer or to the future, "the wind blows" will be smaller more powerful

According to the BBC website 23 reported that two British scientists are on the human brain cell communication behavior studies that both hardware and software to develop the future of the computer. Scientists say, the work of nerve cells may Kuaicu Jin Yuan Li and Sheng Yin computer vision processing functions progress, which means that its future computer may be able, "the wind blows", not just about compliance with sensors made instructions.

The next generation of computer or have feelings University of Plymouth Thomas million Neikes computer experts are trying to simulate a team of communication in the brain play an important role in the nerve cells of the specific physiological characteristics to build the future of the computer.

Early work of the project is mainly to collect in the brain nerve cells and how they communicate with each other relevant data. Currently, researchers are studying the brain responsible for visual, auditory cortex in the brain related to nerve cells. The team has established a very detailed model of the visual cortex, and the characteristics of these micro-circuits have been studied. 

Researchers hope this study has not only developed a memory, can be decided by the "smart devices" can be developed on the computer neural network benefit.

10000 Neikes said the next generation of computers based on this technology and may even have feelings, "before the computer will be completely different."Little more powerful computer will be more coming When 10 000 Neikes team is taken great care of the software simulation, scientists at the University of Manchester in the use of get inspiration from the nerve cells create new computer hardware.

Spinnaker)", the project aims to create a post-optimized to run the computer as the same organism. Furber's Spinnaker Arm  system has eight processors, each processor can run about 1,000 nerve cell model. They want to simulate the biological field events this simulation will help to develop more innovative computer processing system, while allowing scientists a deeper understanding of how many calculations to better connect between the components together.

Next, the researchers also intend to design a processor, with 18 Arm chip, which will have 16 chips is used to simulate the working principle of nerve cells, now the project has entered the final push. Furber said their ultimate goal is to develop a system that has one million ARM processor-based systems, capable of one billion nerve cells control.

 Furber said that at present the computer industry on how best to play all the computing device is still lack of understanding of the effect.  One big problem is that scientists do not know how to coordinate the work between processors to enable these processors "make the best use." Therefore, we can say that the computer industry's future development is parallel. As the technology develops further, the future will become smaller and smaller single processor, power consumption will be less and less, and even to some extent can self-assemble, Spinnaker will allow future computers smaller and more powerful. This would "change the computer industry rules of the game."
