Hala Point is a large-scale system that improves on its predecessor Pohoiki Springs in every way, and uses Intel's new Loihi 2 processor with one million neurons. The system supports up to 1.15 billion neurons and 128 billion synapses spread across 140,544 neuromorphic processing cores that consume a maximum of 2,600 Watts of power.
It also includes more than 2,300 x86 processors for auxiliary computations. The development of the system is headed by Intel Labs, which confirms that - although advanced - the project is still in the full research and development phase. It is hoped that machines of this kind will soon make it possible to better use artificial intelligence in the most diverse fields: from solving scientific and engineering problems to logistics to managing the infrastructure of smart cities and more.
