<The cognitive chips are massively parallel microprocessors that consume very little power. But they also have a fundamentally different design. The two prototype semiconductor cores each has 256 neuronlike nodes. One core is linked to 262,144 synapselike memory modules, while the other is linked to 65,536 such memory synapses. The researchers call the design a “neurosynaptic core.” “This is a critical shift away from today’s Von Neumann computing,” said Dharmendra Modha, an I.B.M. researcher who is the project leader. He is referring to the design and step-by-step sequential methods used in current computers, named after the mathematician John Von Neumann.> Hulu Video: Erasing the Line Between Man and Machine - Runtime: 09:59 http://www.hulu.com/watch/12275/beyond-human-erasing-the-line-between-man-and-machine International (Outside USA) We recently announced that Hulu will enter Japan later this year. While we have every intention to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide in the future, we don't have a timetable or any news regarding expansion beyond Japan at this time. Our intention is to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide as quickly as possible. This requires working with the content owners to clear the rights for each show or film in each specific region. It's a long-term project. We don't have a definite timeline, but we'll continue to work to make it happen. If, however, our system has incorrectly determined that you are outside the U.S. or if you are trying to access Hulu from a U.S. military base, please submit this form. Please note that Hulu does not work with anonomizers or proxy services. If you’re using such a service, please discontinue its use in order to watch Hulu videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There is a fundamental difference in design from the Blue Gene type. There's more to it than just going really fast. Mqurice
