Simulating the human brain and the Earth’s climate are two of the most important challenges in science, according to Robert Bishop, chairman of the advisory board to the Blue Brain Project. Ecole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne in Switzerland and IBM Corp. are cooperating on simulating the brain, a project which started about two years ago. NEC’s Earth Simulator is the key component of the latter project.
