Scientists from Berlin and Heidelberg use artificial nerve

Scientists from Berlin and Heidelberg use artificial nerve
cells to classify different types of data. Thus, they may recognize handwritten
numbers, or distinguish plant species based on their flowers. A bakery
assistant who takes the bread from the shelf just to give it to his boss who
then hands it over to the customer? Rather unlikely. Instead, both work at the
same time to sell the baked goods. Similarly, computer programs are more
efficient if they process data in parallel rather than to calculate them one
after the other. However, most programs that are applied still work in a serial
manner. Scientists from Freie Universität Berlin, the Bernstein Center Berlin,
and Heidelberg University have now refined a new technology that is based on
parallel data processing.
