HPE shows a computer intended to emulate the human brain
Intelligent computers that can make decisions like humans may some day be on Hewlett Packard Enterprise's product roadmap.
The company has been showing a prototype computer designed to emulate the way the brain makes calculations. It's based on a new architecture that could define how future computers work.
The brain can be seen as an extremely power-efficient biological computer. Brains take in a lot of data related to sights, sounds and smell, which they have to process in parallel without lagging, in terms of computation speed.
HPE's ultimate goal is to create computer chips that can compute quickly and make decisions based on probabilities and associations, much like how the brain operates. The chips will use learning models and algorithms to deliver approximate results that can be used in decision-making.
