Human Brain-Like Chip that process images 22-times faster

 


Giant tech IBM has developed a powerful AI-powered chip with the ability to process images 22 times faster than the one that's currently in the market.

According to IBM report, the chip architecture is based on a faster and energy efficient AI.

Semiconductors play vital roles in nearly everything ranging from computing, to other electronic appliances, to communication gadgets, transportation systems, and even the critical infrastructure.

The era of AI, Cloud Computing and Internet of Things has seen the rise of chip performance and energy efficiency.

IBM researchers have created a computer chip, christened as NorthPole, that integrates the data it uses and the processing module.

The research team confided that their study was inspired by the way human brain functions.

The chip accomplishes its task by deploying a 2-dimensional array of memory blocks and interconnected CPUs.

The architecture permits the computing cores to communicate directly with distant blocks in an easier way just like it does with those that are nearby. 

Therefore, the chip processes data and return answers quickly.

Computing ever since inception is processor-centered, with isolated memory from compute.

NorthPole came in response to inspiration derived from the organic brain and optimization for inorganic silicon.

The new chip fades the separation boundary by removing the off-chip memory, intertwining compute with on-chip memory and exposing externally as an active memory chip.

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State. Matiang'i comeback seals the vaccum left by Raila's departure. Why Ruto might lose Kenya's presidential seat in 2027 Ahead of 2022 general elections in Kenya , President William Ruto promised Kenyans heaven on Earth onl...

Uproar after armed goons infiltrate women press briefing at KHRC

Armed militia stormed KHRC, causing lots of chaos, confusion and mayhem. Goons disrupted Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHCR) press conference in Nairobi on Sunday, and accused the organizers for planning Saba Saba protests . Mothers had convened at the KHRC offices to address issues related to seeking Justice for victims of police brutality. The attack prompted the conveners to scamper for safety. According to Standard Media, one journalist attached to them lost a phone which was snatched from him by one of the goons. Former Chief Justice David Maraga condemned the Sunday attack.  Maraga voiced his criticism on his social media account and advised the president that such acts might lead to anarchy. “I vehemently condemn the violence against mothers gathered at KHRC to speak up against the use of violence at tomorrow’s Saba Saba commemoration,” Maraga wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter).  He added that President Ruto should cease using armed militias against Kenya...
