SpiNNaker2 is based on the principles of the human brain, the company says, and uses a large number of low-power processors to more efficiently process AI and other workloads.
Specifically, the server board in a system carries 48 SpiNNaker2 chips, each of which has 152 Arm-based cores plus a variety of hardware accelerators, including distributed GPU-like units, all intended to boost neuromorphic, hybrid, and mainstream AI model processing.
