Who needs a supercomputer? Your desktop PC and a GPU might be enough to solve some of the largest problems – ZDNet
A new method significantly reduces the amount of memory needed for brain simulations, freeing some AI models from the need for a supercomputer.
James Knight and Thomas Nowotny both worked on developing the method behind procedural connectivity.

Armed with a single turbocharged GPU, a team of researchers have successfully simulated part of a monkey’s brain something that normally requires a powerful and expensive supercomputer, but which the scientists maintain can now be carried out on a desktop PC.
The experiment, which involves simulating millions of neurons, as well as the billions of connections between…
