AI Term of the Moment
ambient AI
Redirected from: neuromorphic engineering
Definition: neuromorphic computing
A category of hardware that differs from the GPU and neural processing units that are widely used for AI. Neuromorphic methods can be all digital or analog and digital. A spiking neural network is a type of neuromorphic computing. BrainChip, SynSense and Innatera are examples of commercially available neuromorphic chips. See spiking neural network, GPU and neural processing unit.
Intel's Neuromorphic Chips
Intel Labs director Dr. Rich Uhlig holds a Nahuku board. Used for research, it contains from eight to 32 Intel Loihi chips, which are digital but simulate analog processes. Several boards make up the Pohoiki Beach neuromorphic system. (Image courtesy of Intel Corporation.)
