German Researchers to Simulate Entire Human Brain Using Supercomputer Jupiter
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Researchers at the Jülich Research Center in Germany are set to simulate the entire human brain using the supercomputer Jupiter, leveraging its advanced capabilities to model billions of neurons and complex neural circuits. This initiative follows a successful demonstration of scaling a spiking neural network to simulate 20 billion neurons, although researchers emphasize that these simulations will only offer a limited understanding of actual brain function.
