40 minutes only simulates 1 second of the human brain

The fourth most powerful supercomputer in the world "K Computer" takes forty minutes to simulate just . a second of human brain activity.

If human beings are a wonder of creation, our brains are a wonder of that wonder.

Recently, according to the Telegraph (UK), the most accurate simulation of human brain activity was done in Japan thanks to the "K " supercomputer . Although equipped with a configuration of 705.024 processor cores and 1.4 million GB of RAM, this system also takes up to 40 minutes to analyze and reproduce the data of only . one second of operation. in the human brain.

This project is a collaboration between RIKEN scientific research organization, Okinawa University and Science Institute (Japan) and the multidisciplinary research center Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), and is commented as a network simulation project. The world's largest nerve cell (neuron) grid to date.

According to the Telegraph, the team used the open source Neural Simulation Technology (NEST) to re-create the neural network of 1.73 billion neurons, bound together through 1 billion cellular synapses. Through this project, the team has gathered a lot of useful data in developing future simulation software platforms.

The Telegraph commented that the latest achievement of the "K" supercomputer is not intended to study the human brain, but is intended to test the limits of current simulation technology in particular, as well as its own power. "K" supercomputer in general.
