Intel Corporation of the United States recently released a large-scale neuromimic system called Hala Point, which aims to support cutting-edge research in the field of brain-like artificial intelligence and solve the challenges of artificial intelligence in terms of efficiency and sustainability. According to a press release issued by Intel, Intel improved the architecture of the Hala Point large-scale neuromimic system based on its first-generation large-scale research system Pohoiki Springs, increasing neuron capacity by more than 10 times and improving performance by 12 times. The Hala Point system was initially deployed at Sandia National Laboratories in the US and consists of 1,152 Intel Loihi 2 processors, including 1.15 billion artificial neurons and 128 billion artificial synapses distributed across 140,544 processing cores. When running traditional deep neural networks, 20 trillion operations can be performed per second. (Xinhuanet)
