IBM last week announced that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has purchased its TrueNorth processor-based cognitive computing platform. The purchase included an end-to-end ecosystem and a multisocket host node. The lab will build a supercomputer based on the platform to see how neural networks might be used in the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration's cybersecurity program. The NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing Program will conduct general computing feasibility studies using the supercomputer.Lawrence Livermore Lab Buys Brainy IBM Supercomputer
