MIT Claims New Artificial Neuron 1 Million Times Faster Than the Real Thing

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Think and you’ll miss it: researchers at MIT claim to have successfully created analog synapses that are one million times faster than those in our human brains.

Just as digital processors need transistors, analog ones need programmable resistors. Once put into the right configuration, these resistors can be used to create a network of analog synapses and neurons, according to a press release.

These analog synapses aren’t just ultra-fast, they’re remarkably efficient, too. And that’s pretty important, because as digital neural networks grow more advanced and powerful, they require more and more energy, increasing their carbon footprint considerably.

Will neuromorphic computers accelerate AGI development?

Posted by in categories: biological, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Neuromorphic computers are devices that try to achieve reasoning capability by emulating a human brain. They are a different type of computer architecture that copies the physical characteristics and design principles of biological nervous systems. Although neuromorphic computations can be emulated, it’s very inefficient for classical computers to simulate. Typically new hardware is required.

The first neuromorphic computer at the scale of a full human brain is about to come online. It’s called DeepSouth, and will be finished in April 2024 at Western Sydney University. This computer should enable new research into how our brain actually functions, potentially leading to breakthroughs in how AI is created.

Researchers develop next-gen semiconductor technology for high-efficiency, low-power artificial intelligence

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

A research team has demonstrated that analog hardware using ECRAM devices can maximize the computational performance of artificial intelligence, showcasing its potential for commercialization. Their research has been published in Science Advances.

The rapid advancement of AI technology, including applications like generative AI, has pushed the scalability of existing digital hardware (CPUs, GPUs, ASICs, etc.) to its limits. Consequently, there is active research into analog hardware specialized for AI computation.

Analog hardware adjusts the resistance of semiconductors based on external voltage or current and utilizes a cross-point array structure with vertically crossed to process AI computation in parallel. Although it offers advantages over digital hardware for specific computational tasks and continuous data processing, meeting the diverse requirements for computational learning and inference remains challenging.
