SpiNNaker are held in 5 Blade enclosures, and each core emulates 1000 Neurons. In total, the goal is to simulate the behavior of aggregates of up to a billion neurons in real time. This machine requires about 100 kW from a 240 V supply and an air-conditioned environment. SpiNNaker is being used as one component of the neuromorphic computing platform for the Human Brain Project. On October 14, 2018 the HBP announced that the million core milestone had been achieved. SpiNNaker SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network Architecture) is a massively parallel, manycore supercomputer architecture designed by the Advanced Processor Technologies Research Group
