Brain Emulation by 2030
Posted on August 20th, 2010 by miron
Over the past few years I’ve been thinking about whole brain emulation (WBE) and the required computational resources. My conclusion is that the required technology level will be reached in the 2025 – 2030 time frame.
Although most estimates focus on calculations per second, the relevant parameters are:
- Calculations per second
- Memory size
- Memory bandwidth per node
- Inter-node communication bandwidth
