Despite decades of progress, today’s processors and AI accelerators still fall far short of biological brains in many respects. Neuromorphic chips, such as Intel’s Loihi, aim to narrow this gap by applying principles of brain computation, re-thinking computer architecture and algorithms from transistors up. This talk covers learnings from our research with Loihi and the outlook to commercialization of this technology.
Hosted by Microsystems Technology Laboratory.
