IBM said that IBM has been made the biggest artificial brain in history. A program called Modha with billion of virtual neuron. A very big program, when you want to launch it, you will need a very fast supercomputer called Dawn. Dawn is a supercomputer from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California.
Dawn's size is one acre that located in second floor of Terascale Simulation Facility laboratory. Dawn uses 147,456 gigabyte as its memory and 147,000 processors which located in 10 computer shelves and connected by very long cables (more than a mile). Dawn needs one million watts and 6,675 tonnes of air conditioner.
Dawn was installed earlier this year by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which conducts massive computer simulations to ensure the readiness of the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal. Modha's team worked with Dawn for a week before it was transitioned to NNSA's classified nuclear work. For all of its legendary computing power, Dawn still ran Modha's 1.6 billion neurons at only one-six-hundredth the speed of a living brain. A second simulation, with 1 billion neurons, ran a little faster--but still only at one-eighty-third of normal brain speed.
