The Intelligent Computer Approaches Reality

Researchers, taking a leap towards intelligent and creative computers, have successfully created a brain-like process of circuit evolution in an organic molecular layer that can solve complex problems.

The advance by the international research team from Japan and Michigan Technological University is the first time a brain-like "evolutionary circuit" has been realized.

IBM Roadrunner Supercomputer Leads HIV Research
To create the world's largest human immunodeficiency virus evolutionary tree, US scientists are using the world's fastest supercomputer - IBM Roadrunner

This computer is massively parallel-the world's fastest supercomputers can only process bits one at a time in each of their channels. Their circuit allows instantaneous changes of 300 bits.

Their processor can produce solutions to problems for which algorithms on computers are unknown, like predictions of natural calamities and outbreaks of disease.

To prove this unique feature, the researchers have mimicked two natural phenomena in the molecular layer-heat diffusion and the evolution of cancer cells.

A Cat can Beat a Supercomputer in Face Recognition
A cat is capable of recognizing faces faster than a supercomputer.

The monolayer has intelligence- it can solve many problems on the same grid.

Their molecular processor heals itself if there is a defect, reports Nature.

HIV Evolutionary Genetic Family Tree To Be Created Using Supercomputer
Scientists are trying to analyze vast quantities of genetic sequences from HIV infected people in the hope of zeroing in on possible vaccine target areas.

This remarkable self-healing property comes from the self-organizing ability of the molecular monolayer.

No existing man-made computer has this property, but our brain does: if a neuron dies, another neuron takes over its function.

Roadrunner Supercomputer Used to Mimic Complex Brain Mechanisms
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have started using the Roadrunner supercomputer built by IBM at their facility to mimic extremely complex neurological processes.

The work is described in the Nature Physics paper.
