SUMMARY:The SpiNNaker Project
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe SpiNNaker project\, now offered as one of two neu
 romorphic platforms supported by the European Union ICT Flagship Human Bra
 in Project\, is a digital many-core computer incorporating a million mobil
 e phone processors optimised for real-time brain-modelling research applic
 ations. The design of the machine is very much influenced by the biologica
 l application it is intended to support\, which has a lot to teach us abou
 t how we might build more efficient\, fault-tolerant parallel computers in
  the future.\nBio\nSteve Furber CBE FRS FREng is ICL Professor of Computer
  Engineering in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manche
 ster\, UK. After completing a BA in mathematics and a PhD in aerodynamics 
 at the University of Cambridge\, UK\, he spent the 1980s at Acorn Computer
 s\, where he was a principal designer of the BBC Microcomputer and the ARM
  32-bit RISC microprocessor. Over 75 billion variants of the ARM processor
  have since been manufactured\, powering much of the world’s mobile and 
 embedded computing. He moved to the ICL Chair at Manchester in 1990 where 
 he leads research into asynchronous and low-power systems and\, more recen
 tly\, neural systems engineering\, where the SpiNNaker project is deliveri
 ng a computer incorporating a million ARM processors optimised for brain 
 modelling applications.
