So you want to simulate a cat brain

All you need is the 4th largest super computer in the world and 144 terabytes of ram!

It's a bad title really is should read "Simulation of similar size to cats brain". Looks like they are just bumping up the number of simulated neurons and synapses compared to the last test.

Ah but who would read "super computer simulates more neurons and synapses"

maybe next they will simulate a womans brain in some desperate attempt to finally understand WTF is going on inside there heads

that would take more energy than reaching the speed of light!
