jamespitts: Simulating physics and chemistry to overcome limits of the Von Neumann architecture.Specifically, using IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer to simulate neurons and synapses."Performance measurements show good scaling behavior on the Blue Gene/L supercomputer up to 8,192 processors. Several key phenomena seen in the living brain appear as emergent phenomena in the simulations.": http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1375994Also,
