Half a million ARM cores in a rack!

Steve Furber's "Spinnaker" project at Manchester University to simulate brains:
Edit: Jump forward to 1:16:45 to get into the rack room.





If you happen to be a student of such things you can get an account on that machine and run your own neural experiments on it.

No video shown as it happens.
But it is am impressive photo of course.

I clicked on the top image and got the video.

Buck Rogers,

That's odd. The link in my post works from here.

Wind forward to 1:16:45 to get straight into the room housing all those ARMS.

Mind you, the whole video is interesting.

Yes it is rather interesting. A 20 millipedes worth of ARM processors in a cluster. Now I want to see a gaggle of
Propeller 2 devices working to do the same thing.

20 millipedes?

Steve Furber estimated it has the capacity of a mouse brain in terms of cells and connectivity.

I imagine half a million P2 COGs would be a thousand or more times slower at what that machine does. Mostly for the lack of the communications interconnect.
