Neurologics performance and visualization demo

This video demonstrates the performance of the Neurologics neural network simulation suite.

It shows a real time simulation of 200,000 artificial neurons with 178 million neural interconnections (dendrites) including real time learning (connection strengthening) and wiring.

The simulation runs at 5 iterations per second. Neural learning is done every 7th iteration, i.e. every 1.4 seconds.

Used hardware:
Intel Core 2 Quad at 3.0 GHz
8 GB of DDR2 main memory at 400/800 MHz
For visualization: nVidia Quadro FX 370 (as you can see it is a bit slow actually for the 550,000 antialiased lines rendered here)

HINT: This artificial neural network is just for demonstrational purposes and benchmarking. It does not fulfill a specific functionality.

Yes, this is nothing in comparison to human or even simpler mammal brains.

I have not found the time to put much work into this project recently so I don't have the structures yet to let those networks do reasonable stuff (like intelligently controlling a robot), just some ideas so far.

This video merely demonstrates what the Neurologics simulation suite is capable of, but I kind of don't know how to set it up to unleash its power with respect to (interactive) AI yet.

that is far from 50-100 billion which of the human brain.

It is possible you could hooked this neural network up to some biped robot?

UPDATE: After switching from GCC 4.2 to Sun Studio 12 for compilation, I was able to bump this to 300,000 neurons with 540 million dendrites!

Thank you Sun :-)
