- The chips behind artificial intelligence sometimes have difficulty meeting the processing power and emit high amounts of carbon into the environment while working.
- Scientists from Western Sydney University are designing a supercomputer to replace inefficient chips.
- The human brain was taken as an example in the design of the supercomputer named DeepSouth. When this machine is completed, it will be able to imitate the neural network in the human brain and the movements of that network at a level equivalent to the human brain.
Artificial intelligence, the most popular technology of recent times, requires a lot of processing power to work. Chips similar to the ones we use in our personal computers cannot easily meet this processing power, and in this process, very high carbon is released into the environment.
The solution to this problem lies in computers, but these computers are not desktop or laptop computers, they are our brains. It is very easy for the human brain to perceive complex and unordered data from the environment and highlight what it needs. Moreover, it consumes very little energy compared to electronic devices.
“Supercomputer equivalent to the human brain“
Scientists from Western Sydney University are taking our brains as an example in the supercomputer project they call DeepSouth. When this machine is completed, it will be able to imitate the neural network in the human brain and the movements of that network at a level equivalent to the human brain.
Professor Andre van Schaik, one of the researchers, says that imitating nerve impulses in the human brain with the graphics cards and processors used today is very slow and inefficient, and that their own systems will change this. The new machine can be used in biomedical studies, robotics, space research and large-scale artificial intelligence models.
DeepSouth basically aims to transmit and process very small data very quickly. The aim of the project, which is also supported by Dell and Intel, is not to make the most powerful device, but to create the fastest and most efficient system.
In the ever-developing world, DeepSouth may be taking the first steps of an approach that will pave the way for new research and replace traditional artificial intelligence chips.
