BLUE BRAIN :- The Upcoming Technology

By -

Hello Friends!!!

The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to reverse engineer the human brain and recreate it at the cellular level inside a computer simulation. Sounds Impossible, isn’t  it ?

Overview at facts of Blue Brain :-
The main intention is to upload the human brain into a supercomputer. So that a person can think, take decision effortlessly. We will be able to use the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of any important person even after his/her death and that can be used for the development of the human society.
Blue Brain Project is under research by IBM. If succeeded, we will be able to scan ourselves into computers in next 30 years!
Raymond Kurzweil’s paper on this topic shows the best technique: The use of  Nano-Bots.
Nano Bots will travel into spine and brain and that is how they will be able to map the activity and structure of our central nervous system.

The three steps for building Virtual Brain are :
1) Data acquisition
2) Simulation
3) Visualization of results

Technical Details :-
The Super Computer used for Blue Brain Project is called Blue Gene, which is built by IBM.
The simulation of Blue Brain runs 300x slower than real time, that means one second of simulated time takes about five minutes to complete the process.
The BBP-SDK (Blue Brain Project – Software Development Kit) is a set of software classes (APIs) that allows researchers to utilize and inspect models and simulations. The SDK is a C++ library wrapped in Java and Python.
RTNeuron is the primary application used by the Blue Brain Project for visualization of neural simulations. The software was developed internally by the BBP team written in C++ and OpenGL.

Blue Gene/P technical specifications :-
- 4,096 quad-core nodes (16,384 cores in total)
- Each core is a PowerPC 450, 850 MHz
- Total: 56 teraflops, 16 terabytes of memory
- 4 racks, one row, wired as a 16x16x16 3D torus
- 1 PB of disk space, GPFS parallel file system
- Operating system: Linux SuSE SLES 10

Disadvantages:-
We may become over dependent upon these computer systems.
Computer Viruses may become the seriously critical issue, just like Skynet from Terminator and VIKI from iRobot !
The threat in people will rise against new technology, just like Human Cloning.

Hello Friends, The job location is an important factor and we all keep this in mind at the very first while applying for a job. Our job life is much affected by the location where we do the job. And of course the company gives us choices for it where we want to get the job. We all apply for our choices for the desired location. Some people want it to be approachable from their home, family, relatives etc so that they can help them or get their help easily whenever possible, whereas some want the location from the career perspective where they can see their fast growth.  All of us have different reasons. I hope you guys are now well known of the different locations provided after ILP training as I have already given the regarding info. You will get to know your base location within one month from joining the ILP. Most of the people get their preferred one out of the filled choices. TCS HR department tries their best to locate you at the place of your choice, still there is a p
