IBM powers and cools chips with a system inspired by human circulation.

The supercomputer of the future will be close to the efficiency of the human brain and fuelled by “electronic blood”, the director of IBM research has predicted.

The company has unveiled an experimental version of its biologically inspired computer, which it claims could lead to a 10,000-fold increase in the efficiency of computers.

Speaking in Zurich, Matthias Keiserwerth said that the energy requirements of the world’s most powerful computers were now so great that they were limiting advances in computational performance and artificial intelligence.
