Concept

neuromorphic computing

A golden circuit board with a central square featuring an "N" symbol, surrounded by intricate interconnecting lines, represents neuromorphic computing architecture.

A family of chip architectures that imitate the brain's event-driven, massively parallel, low-power signalling rather than the synchronous clock of a conventional CPU. IBM's TrueNorth (2014) and Intel's Loihi (2017, Loihi 2 in 2021) are the best-known examples. They run spiking neural networks at a tiny fraction of the power of a GPU but have so far struggled to match the flexibility of mainstream deep learning hardware.
