Announcing a new height in neuromorphic research Intel has released their latest rack-mounted system. Called Pohoiki Springs it is a research system specialized for solving incredibly complex computational problems. It follows their smallest system, Kapoho Bay, which has 262,000 neurons. This new data center rack-mounted system is made up of 768 smaller chips called Loihi. Thirty-two of the Loihi chips are mounted on what are called Nahuku boards.These in turn occupy a space about the size of five normal servers. Intel states it is their largest such system to date.
