A supercomputer capable of mimicking the human brain is set to be activated in 2024. The DeepSouth system, developed by researchers at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, uses spiking neural networks to efficiently emulate large networks of neurons, rivaling the rate of operations in the human brain. This groundbreaking technology aims to unlock the secrets of how our brains handle information with surprising efficiency.
I’m from the Deep South, so I can say this - the name scares me!
For anyone genuinely wondering why it’s called DeepSouth, instead of just making jokes about how people from the Southeastern United States are all illiterate bigots,
"The supercomputer is aptly named DeepSouth, paying homage to IBM’s TrueNorth system, which initiated efforts to build machines simulating large networks of spiking neurons, and Deep Blue, which was the first computer to become a world chess champion. The name is also a nod to its geographical location.
DeepSouth will be based at Western Sydney University and is a key contributor to the growth of the region as a high-tech hub."
