One million ARM cores linked to simulate brain

Typically most references relating to ARM's architecture centers around the mobile sector including smartphones and tablets. But the UK's Manchester University is doing something entirely different with ARM-based cores: it's simulating the brain. In conjunction with Southampton, Cambridge and Sheffield Universities, the Manchester University has created a massively parallel computer called SpiNNaker, short for Spiking Neural Network architecture, using up to one million cores based on an old ARM instruction set architecture.
