"Revolutionary Human Brain-Scale Supercomputer Set to Activate in 2024"

Australian scientists at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) are developing a groundbreaking supercomputer called DeepSouth, which aims to simulate the synapses of a human brain at full scale. Expected to be operational by April 2024, DeepSouth will be capable of performing 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, equivalent to the estimated number of operations in the human brain. This neuromorphic supercomputer achieves its impressive computational power by employing neuromorphic engineering, a design approach that mimics the functioning of the brain.

Next-gen AI computing: Artificial neurons replicate complex brain abilities.

Researchers have developed atomically thin artificial neurons capable of processing both light and electric signals for computing. The material enables the simultaneous existence of separate feedforward and feedback paths within a neural network, boosting the ability to solve complex problems. The team used a stack of three 2D materials to create a device that shows a change in its conductance depending on the power and duration of light/electricity that is shone on it. These devices are analog and operate similarly to the synapses and neurons in our biological brain, allowing for computations that produce gradual changes in the amount of stored electronic charge.
