SpiNNcloud Unveils SpiNNaker2: The World's Largest, Most Energy-Efficient AI Supercomputer
SpiNNcloud Systems, a DeepTech startup based in Dresden, has unveiled SpiNNaker2, a high-performance AI computer inspired by the human brain. This groundbreaking technology is set to revolutionize real-time artificial intelligence, boasting unmatched flexibility and energy efficiency.
SpiNNaker2 is the brainchild of an international collaboration, including TU Dresden, as part of the Human Brain Project. This multi-billion-euro research initiative aims to design intelligent and efficient artificial systems. The system is described by Fred Rothganger from Sandia National Laboratories as the 'most flexible neural supercomputer architecture available today'.
Prof. Christian Mayr from TU Dresden explains that SpiNNaker2 draws inspiration from the human brain, which consumes a mere 30 watts for complex tasks. This makes SpiNNaker2 the 'world's largest and most energy-efficient supercomputer for real-time artificial intelligence'.
SpiNNaker2 will initially be available as a cloud platform solution in the second half of 2024, with full production systems ready in the first half of 2025. The Human Brain Project is among the first organizations slated to use these full production systems. Sandia National Laboratories, conducting research on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, will also be an early adopter.
The architecture of SpiNNaker2 builds upon the success of its predecessor, SpiNNaker1, which is already in use in dozens of research groups across 23 countries worldwide. SpiNNcloud Systems received 2.5 million euros in funding from the European Innovation Council (EIC) for the project.
SpiNNaker2, with its unmatched flexibility and energy efficiency, is poised to transform real-time artificial intelligence. Its commercial availability, first as a cloud platform and later as full production systems, promises to open new avenues in AI research and application. The Human Brain Project and Sandia National Laboratories are among the first to embrace this innovative technology.
