UC San Diego Part of National Hub for Large-scale Neuromorphic Computing
Bioengineering professor Gert Cauwenberghs at the University of California San Diego is one of four researchers leading a new hub that will provide access to open and heterogeneous neuromorphic computing hardware systems. The Neuromorphic Commons Hub, also known as THOR, is based at the University of Texas San Antonio and funded by a $4 million grant from the National Science Foundation. It aims to deploy and manage a large-scale community research infrastructure. Full Story
