The notion of a "step" seems to imply some sort of synchronous logic, driven by a master clock. Does the cortex actually work this way? Aside from curiosity, I'm asking because I've been thinking about the problem of synchronizing the processing of an actor-based version of NuPIC. This seems like it would need to force all of the actors to wait for the slowest actors, message paths, etc. So, I'm wondering about letting the actors operate asynchronoously, handling and firing off messages as the scheduler (etc) allows. Of course, this would introduce some differences in the results, but that might not be a problem. Is this a reasonable approach to try? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin [email protected] http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume San Bruno, CA, USA +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation
