neurala
The Neurala Technology Platform (NTP) was created by three neuroscience researchers in their search for affordable solutions for efficiently using brain-based algorithms in their research. Each member provides a unique contribution to the success of the company. Massimiliano Versace, Anatoli Gorchetchnikov and Heather Ames combine over ten years of experience in developing cutting‐edge software solutions for large‐scale, parallel brain-based algorithms in both academia and industry.[read more] |

The Neurala Technology Platform (NTP)
Writing data parallel brain-based algorithms with NTP leads to a dramatic increase in execution speed on GPUs with respect to traditional, single-core CPU implementations. This translates into benefits at the level of prototyping and delpoyment of large-scale, parallel brain-based applications.
The third prototype of NTP provides dramatic speedups in running a large visual receptive field algorithm consisting of a network of 15,000 neurons, almost three times the performance of Neurala’s first prototype, and 232X with respect to a single-core Opteron CPU.
