The Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing is now available. NuPIC implements a hierarchical temporal memory system (HTM) patterned after the human neocortex.

Web-based editor for setup, control and analysis of quantum computing simulation jobs.

"On October 27, 2005 I finished simulation of a model that has the size of the human brain. The model has 100,000,000,000 neurons and almost 1,000,000,000,000,000 synapses. One second of simulation took 50 days on a beowulf cluster of 27 processors."

E-Cell Project is an international research project aiming to model and reconstruct biological phenomena in silico, and developing necessary theoretical supports, technologies and software platforms to allow precise whole cell simulation.
