Before embarking on the conquest of the main peak, the researchers of the two Swiss universities - the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne and ETH Zurich - in conjunction with IBM . But even to create a computer model of 70 million neurons (brain cell counts as a rodent) professionals need to upgrade supercomputer Blue Gene / Q, equipped with 128 terabytes of flash memory. So capacious storage system to be used for data studies of the brain, the simulation results, raw data and other things.
It is interesting that, according to various sources, the human brain contains at least 85 billion neurons. What should be the scale of a supercomputer system for the project Human Brain, scientists did not specify.
