Zhejiang University releases neuromorphic computer "Wukong"

On August 2nd, the National Key Laboratory of Brain-Computer Intelligence at Zhejiang University announced the latest development of the new generation of neuro-analogous brain computer, Darwin Monkey. This brain computer supports over 2 billion pulse neurons, ranking among the top neuro-analogous brain computer systems globally. Wukong is composed of 15 blade-type neural-analogous brain servers, with each server integrating 64 Darwin 3rd generation brain computing chips. Each chip can support over 2.35 million pulse neurons and billions of neural synapses, with special instructions and neural-analogous online learning mechanisms. "The number of synapses in Wukong exceeds one hundred billion, and the number of neurons is close to the level of a macaque brain, with a power consumption of about 2000 watts in typical operation," said Pan Gang, the director of the laboratory. Currently, Wukong has successfully run the DeepSeek brain model, completing tasks such as logical reasoning and content generation, and can preliminarily simulate the brains of various animals from Caenorhabditis elegans to macaques.
