Science and Technology

Intel has built Code-named 'Hala Point', the world's largest neuromorphic system to support research for future brain-inspired artificial intelligence. The large-scale neuromorphic system was initially deployed at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. It mimics the human brain in processing information. Hala Point advances Intel's first-generation large-scale research system, Pohoiki Springs, with architectural improvements to achieve over 10 times more neuron capacity and up to 12 times higher performance. It can support up to 20 quadrillion operations per second, or 20 petaops, with an efficiency exceeding 15 trillion 8-bit operations per second per watt (TOPS/W) when executing conventional deep neural networks.
