On August 2nd, the National Key Laboratory of Brain Computer Intelligence at Zhejiang University released a new generation of neuromorphic brain computer - Darwin Monkey (hereinafter referred to as "Wukong"). This is the world's first neuromorphic chip based brain like computer with a neuron scale exceeding 2 billion. The size of pulse neurons supported by "Wukong" exceeds 2 billion, and the number of neural synapses exceeds 100 billion. Its number of neurons is close to the size of a macaque brain, and its power consumption is about 2000 watts under typical operating conditions. The human brain is an extremely efficient 'computer'. Brain like computing is the application of the working mechanism of biological neural networks to computer system design, constructing low-power, high parallel, high-efficiency, and intelligent computing systems similar to the brain. Previously, the largest neuromorphic brain computer in the world was the Hala Point system released by Intel in April 2024, with a neuron size of 1.15 billion. Wukong is equipped with 960 self-developed Darwin 3rd generation neuromorphic computing chips from the laboratory, consisting of 15 blade type neuromorphic neuromorphic servers. The chip was developed by Zhejiang University in collaboration with Zhijiang Laboratory in early 2023. It supports over 2.35 million pulse neurons and billions of synapses per chip, as well as a specialized instruction set for brain like computing and neuromorphic online learning mechanisms. On the basis of the brain like computing chip, the research team has developed a super large-scale brain like computer "Wukong" after more than two years of research and development, and has also developed a new generation of Darwin brain like operating system. Professor Pan Gang, the team leader and director of the National Key Laboratory of Brain Computer Intelligence at Zhejiang University, introduced that the team has deployed multiple intelligent application validations on "Wukong", which can run DeepSeek like brain models to complete intelligent tasks such as logical reasoning, content generation, and mathematical solving. It can also simulate animal brains with different neuron sizes, including Caenorhabditis elegans, zebrafish, mice, and macaques. The characteristics of 'Wukong', such as large-scale, high parallelism, and low power consumption, will provide a new computing paradigm for existing computing scenarios. ”Pan Gang introduced that it can provide a new computing power base for the development of artificial intelligence, serve as a simulation tool for neuroscientists to study the brain, provide new experimental methods to explore the working mechanism of the brain, and reduce real biological experiments. In addition, human reasoning ability and efficiency far exceed current artificial intelligence. The working mechanism of the "Wukong" computer imitating the brain and the computing speed surpassing the human brain will provide strong support for future research on brain like AI. (New Society)
