This problem of moving large amounts of data between compute and memory started with one of the earliest electronic computers, the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer . The compute and memory of the system were based on differing technologies and had to be operated separately by necessity.Inspired to solve this issue, researchers have developed an architectural innovation that sits at the intersection of brain-inspired computing and semiconductor technology.
Blending brain-inspired computing and semiconductor technology, the NorthPole has 22 billion transistors in an 800-millimeter square area, with 256 cores.
