Researchers briefed visitors on the operation of the world's first mimicry computer

Inspired by the most wonderful "camouflage masters" in nature, ——— mimicry octopus, our scientists fused bionics, cognitive science and modern information technology, put forward the new theory of mimicry calculation, and successfully developed the world's first dynamic and variable mimicry computer.

21st, the "New concept of high-performance computer architecture and systems Research and development" project, in Shanghai through the National 863 Project acceptance of the inspection Expert group acceptance.

Mimicry computer by the Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Kang Jiangxing led the scientific research team, in the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Shanghai Municipal Government joint support, the United Nations more than 10 units, polymerization more than 500 researchers, over 6 years of research.

The design of the mimicry computer is inspired by the mimicry octopus. Mimicry Octopus is nature's most wonderful "camouflage master", it can distort the body and tentacles, change color, imitate at least 15 kinds of animal appearance and behavior. It was not until 1998 that people found it in the Sulawesi waters of Indonesia.

Kang Jiangxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that with the integration of bionics, cognitive science and modern information technology, our scientists first proposed an active cognitive reconfigurable architecture based on pseudo computation, and according to this theory, the prototype of a pseudo computer was developed.

Mimicry computer is called "Transformers". At present, the general computer "structure fixed, rely on software programming", and mimicry computer structure dynamic variable, "rely on variable structure, software and hardware combined". Aiming at different application needs of users, mimicry computer can improve its efficiency by changing its structure.

The test shows that the energy efficiency of the typical application of pseudo computer is more than 10 times times higher than that of the average computer, and the high efficiency is remarkable.
