World-record Supercomputer Mimics Human Sight Brain Mechanisms

Friday, June 13, 2008 - 10:21 in Biology & Nature

Less than a week after Los Alamos National Laboratory's Roadrunner supercomputer began operating at world-record petaflop-per-second data-processing speeds, Los Alamos researchers are already using the computer to mimic extremely complex neurological processes. The code run on the machine mimics brain mechanisms underlying human sight.
