As the publication TechXplore, IBM together with the US Air Force Research Laboratory began work on the construction of the world's first neuromorphic computer system. 

The new system will be an artificial intelligence that will work on the principles of a real neural network, like the work of a neural network of the human brain.

The system is called the TrueNorth Neurosynaptic System, and its foundation will, according to IBM representatives, have several compute nodes, each of which has 64 neuromorphic IBM TrueNorth processors. At the same time, each of the nodes consists of 64 million artificial neurons and 16 billion artificial synapses.

The new artificial intelligence system TrueNorth Neurosynaptic System will be an extremely flexible platform. It can both process data coming from different sources and process parallel processing of the same source data stream.
