- Intel Loihi is a neuromorphic research chip that models networks of spiking neurons using event-driven, asynchronous computation rather than the clocked dense arithmetic of conventional processors. It supports on-chip plasticity, allowing networks to adapt during operation.
- Loihi is used to investigate energy-efficient computation for tasks such as sensing, optimisation and adaptive control, and it is a vehicle for studying how brain-inspired architectures might handle workloads poorly suited to standard hardware.
