Hi Subutai, Brilliant to hear the historical background, don't misunderestimate (as GW Bush said) the importance of that for understanding of how the CLA works.
One of Jeff's big motivations for the work you guys have been doing is that we (as humans) are able to do these amazing things with a very limited number of really slow neurons, with no ability to "upgrade" or, for example add hard drives for extra storage. We just have to be using a very clever, but very easily implemented, algorithm for this performance which is robust in every dimension of energy, material and time. So, a CLA (a 1mm squared, 1-layer, one region slice) should be implementable in any kind of computational environment, in any language, to an order of magnitude of performance. Developer and experimenter time is the limiting factor in the work right now. Once we prove this is how brains work, someone will (and probably is already working to) build this in hardware or figure out how to get your graphics card to process this. Regards, Fergal Byrne
