Neurogrid.

Fabulous, fabulous technology from Stanford. I really enjoyed reading the article until it mentioned the IBM effort. This is called 'SyNAPSE'. And of course, it's a cute acronym for some b@ll@cks or other. At which stage I lose interest. I mean, it's 2014 and I suppose that the IBM'ers are adults, so seeing drooling, puerile attempts at backronyms for naming a project just makes me want to choke. The IBM tech may or may not be cool. I doubt it. And I don't care.:mad:

I need a link so I too can be annoyed by it.... :-)

According to my experience, projects names made up of crap acronyms are much more likely to stick in memory than project named DS3875-T9-#.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Yeah - and these things seem to go in phases. In the 1980s and early 1990s they were all Roman or Greek gods (Apollo, Pegasus etc.) Then there were physics related names (Electron, Quantum etc.) Now biological / neuroscience (Hive, Synapse, Cortex)

What about 'Neurogrid'? That's not a load of drivel.

This is it:http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2014/pr-neurogrid-boahen-engineering-042814.html[^] Apparently I get tons o sh!t when I try to supply a link. Hope it works. :sigh:

Still in use at many, many companies. I don't mind them really as indeed it helps to memorize the content of the project (given it is done properly)

(MQOTD rules and previous solutions)The best (and most ridiculous) Backronym we have was made out of the inventor's first name. :wtf:
