浙大发布新一代神经拟态类脑计算机
Core Insights - Zhejiang University has launched a new generation of neuromorphic brain-like computer named Darwin Monkey ("Wukong"), which is the first neuromorphic computer in the world with over 2 billion neurons, closely resembling the scale of a macaque brain [1][2] Group 1: Technology and Development - "Wukong" is equipped with 960 self-developed Darwin 3rd generation neuromorphic chips, supporting over 2 billion spiking neurons and over 100 billion synapses, with a power consumption of approximately 2000 watts under typical operating conditions [1] - The Darwin chip was developed in early 2023, with each chip supporting over 2.35 million spiking neurons and hundreds of millions of synapses, along with a dedicated instruction set for brain-like computing and online learning mechanisms [1] - The team achieved breakthroughs in several key technologies, including large-scale neuron system interconnection and integration architecture, adaptive time-step control methods, and domestic wafer substrate technology for wafer-level neuromorphic chips [1] Group 2: Applications and Future Plans - The team has successfully deployed multiple intelligent applications on "Wukong," capable of running the DeepSeek brain-like large model for logical reasoning, content generation, and mathematical problem-solving [2] - "Wukong" can also simulate the brains of various animals, including C. elegans, zebrafish, mice, and macaques, providing new tools for neuroscience research [2] - Future plans include further improvements in neural models and learning algorithms [2]
