Intel's "Hala Point" neuromorphic computer boosts AI performance

Livescience.com April 18, 2024, 07:00 PM UTC

Summary: Intel has developed the world's largest neuromorphic computer, "Hala Point," with 1.15 billion artificial neurons and 128 billion synapses. It can perform AI tasks 50 times faster and use 100 times less energy than traditional systems. The machine, powered by 1,152 Loihi 2 processors, can make 20 petaops. Neuromorphic computing differs from conventional computing by using neural networks for parallel processing, reducing power consumption.
