能够精确模拟人类大脑的机器一直被誉为计算机学领域的圣杯。而今IBM公司的科学家研制出一种使用“电解血液”的电脑,在朝着实现这一梦想的道路上又往前迈进一步。这项技术能够在为电脑提供能量的同时起到降温作用,类似于血液在大脑中的功效。据英国广播公司报道称,IBM的苏黎世实验室已经演示了这一系统。IBM的科学家布鲁诺·米切尔博士表示:“我们需要研制能效是当前1万倍的超级计算机。通过液体冷却和供电网络与数百个芯片垂直整合到一起,IBM研究院在朝着研制未来仿生电脑的道路上迈出了第一步。”人类的大脑可装入一个2升的瓶子,所消耗的能量相当于一盏20瓦灯泡,但能效是当前任何电脑的1万倍左右。拥有这种惊人能效的原因在于大脑只使用一个血管与毛细管网络同时输送热量和能量。这些能量中有大约40%用于维持大脑的正常功能,只有10%用于供能和降温。相
Machines capable of accurately simulating the human brain have long been hailed as the holy grail in the field of computer science. Today, scientists at IBM Corp. have developed a computer that uses “electrolyzed blood,” one step closer to realizing that dream. This technology can cool the computer while providing energy, similar to the effect of blood in the brain. According to the BBC report, IBM’s Zurich lab has demonstrated the system. IBM scientist Bruno Mitchell, Ph.D., said: “We need to develop supercomputers that are 10,000 times more efficient today, and by vertically integrating liquid cooling and power networks with hundreds of chips, IBM Research is moving toward developing the future The first step on the way to a bionics computer is to take the first step. ”" The human brain can fit into a 2-liter bottle and consume about the same energy as a 20-watt light bulb, but at about 10,000 times more energy efficient than any current computer. The reason for this amazing energy efficiency is that the brain uses only one blood vessel and capillary network to deliver both heat and energy. Approximately 40% of these energies are used to maintain normal brain function, with only 10% used for energy and cooling. phase
