1. The whole company wanted a spec that would run Crysis on Enthusiast settings.

2. It's not pita, it's pita (with hummus)

   Error in translation.

3. Peta is a million billion isn't it?
   Peta – 10^15
   You have registered a billion billions

4. "The acceptance of a neuron into electronic hardware" is exactly what is being done in IBM's "blue brain" project, check again the links I gave (amendment to the first link I sent in response 12)

   By the way, the project is progressing very well in the meantime, and the results are very impressive.

5. For a discussion regarding the analogy of a neuron to electronic hardware.
   Well, the neuron corresponds to a logic circuit (AND, OR, NOR, NAND, etc.), which has several inputs and one output. At the output you get a zero or a one depending on the values ​​entered into the inputs of the logic circuit and the logic type of that circuit. Basically - it's a small electronic jock. But while a logic circuit has two or three inputs and sometimes more, a typical number of inputs for a neuron is a thousand.

6. Company, correction to the first link, please -

   (For some reason the previous page is no longer available, but I found the article elsewhere)

7. I really don't think a neuron is equivalent to a transistor. More than a transistor it is certainly debatable about a core.

   But you get the point.

8. Eran, do you know the technologies used to connect all these processors?

9. By the way, note that the development here stems from the fact that there are many more processors here and not from technological development.

10. Gil Dotan, we have tens or hundreds of billions of neurons. And a single neuron really can't be called a core... a better analogy would be along the lines of a transistor, or a group of transistors.

11. Elad:
    Thanks

12. Father, thank you very much for the answers! 🙂

13. In this specific case, this is material published by IBM itself. This is how it is customary for all newspapers and websites to do with material that someone on their behalf did not process it themselves. At some point we decided not to give commercial companies, unlike for example universities, credit for articles.

14. Some interesting links on the subject:

    Enjoy 🙂

15. Hi Abi, an off-topic question, what does it mean when it is written that the article was written by the "Knowledge Service"? Don't these people have names? Just a question of curiosity.

16. Yes but no one is running CRYSIS in FULL HD with filters yet and the game will be worn out... 😀

    and clean We have billions of cores and even more connections that don't just work in binary, so I think your predictions are a bit underestimating the value of the brain.

17. A supercomputer 10000 times more powerful than the fastest supercomputer today will be able to simulate the entire human brain.

    A computer that is a million times more powerful than the fastest supercomputer today, will be able to simulate the climate on Earth and give an accurate forecast.

    These are computers that will be built in 20-30 years.
    In short, it's going to be interesting
