The HBP’s High Performance Computing Platform
Thomas Lippert, Jülich, HBP Subproject HPC
1 HBP Goals
To unify our understanding of the human brain To gain profound insights into what makes us human! To use neuroinformatics and brain simulation ! ! To collect & integrate experimental data To build revolutionary new, brain derived, computing technologies (HPC and neuromorphic)
www.humanbrainproject.eu HBP Goal FIGURE 2 Future Applica ons
• To build an integrated ICT infrastructure enabling a Integra on ICT Pla orms • global collaborative effort towards understanding the human brain, and ultimately
• to emulate its Data, computational Knowledge, Technologies, ... capabilities www.humanbrainproject.eu Why do I believe that simulation is key to reconstruct the brain? Overall Project Structure The Subprojects
