THE HAPPENING WORLD: Intel Announces Neuromorphic Chip with One Million Neurons, 4 Nanometre Process
Today @Intel Launches Loihi 2, a Neuromorphic chip. With a million neurons, it is super small, and designed to do brain-like things on only a few milliwatts. It's also exciting because this is Intel's first 4nm (Intel 4) chip with EUV.https://t.co/OWSB9BiPbH

Here is an interview with Mike Davies, director of Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab, on the architecture of the Loihi 2 chip, applications of neuromorphic (biomimetic) technology, and how such systems are interfaced to conventional computers. Here is a technical brief [PDF] on Loihi 2 and the Lava software framework that supports it, which allows simulation of neuromorphic systems on conventional hardware. Lava is available for free from GitHub.
