What\u2019s New:<\/strong>\u00a0Intel shared an update on progress within the\u00a0Intel Neuromorphic Research Community<\/a>\u00a0(INRC). The group has grown rapidly since its inception in 2018. It now includes more than 100 members, with Intel announcing today the addition of Lenovo, Logitech, Mercedes-Benz, and Prophesee to explore the value of neuromorphic computing for business use cases. Additionally, Intel summarized a growing body of research results coming out of the INRC computed on its\u00a0neuromorphic research test chip, Loihi.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn two short years, we\u2019ve formed a vibrant community comprising hundreds of researchers around the world inspired by the promise of neuromorphic computing to deliver orders of magnitude gains in computing efficiency, speed, and intelligent functionality. For the first time, we see a quantitative picture emerge that validates this promise.\u00a0Together with our INRC partners, we plan to build on these insights to enable wide-ranging disruptive commercial applications for this nascent technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why It Matters:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel created the INRC because it believes no one group alone will effectively unlock the full potential of neuromorphic computing. By collaborating with some of the leading researchers in this field, spanning academia, industry, and government, Intel is working to overcome the challenges in developing neuromorphic computing and progress it from research prototypes to industry-leading products over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intel and its partners have demonstrated orders of magnitude gains for real-world edge use cases and are seeing early progress in scaling these workloads to solve larger computational problems. As neuromorphic computing continues to advance, Intel and the INRC have also uncovered various potential real-world use cases for neuromorphic technology, enabling more efficient and adaptive robotics, rapidly searching large databases for similar content, and allowing edge devices to make difficult planning and optimization decisions in real-time. The addition of Lenovo, Logitech, Mercedes-Benz, and Prophesee to the INRC and existing Fortune 500 and government members showcase the steady maturing of neuromorphic technology and its coming graduation from academic laboratories into industry applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results:\u00a0<\/strong>Through ongoing development, prototyping, and testing of applications built on Intel\u2019s neuromorphic systems, Intel and INRC members are compiling a growing body of results that show consistent gains across a wide range of workloads. Existing results, such as\u00a0mimicking the human olfactory system<\/a>\u00a0and bringing\u00a0event-based touch sensing to robotics<\/a>, combined with new benchmarks outlined at Intel Labs Day, paint a picture of neuromorphic computing well-suited for an emerging class of bio-inspired intelligent workloads that also have commercial relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
