Artificial Intelligence System - aufgegeben

Project Status: Pre-Launch

This distributed computing project is part of a larger project that is reverse engineering the brain in order to build a large scale artificial intelligence system. The first of its kind. Because we are a very small company (2 people) that is tackling an enormous challenge, we are asking the public at large to get involved by donating computer time. We will also pursue an alternative path, through commercialization, in order to be able to support and accelerate its development.

Latest News
We have decided to use the BOINC distributed computing framework for computing intensive tasks. We expect to relaunch the program around September 5th, 2007 on Linux and Windows platforms.
We have just restructured a large portion of the web site so please do not bookmark this page. Before launch we will also need to upgrade the server so the site will be down for a couple of hours. We will post in here the exact day and time.

Latest News
We have decided to use the BOINC distributed computing framework for computing intensive tasks. Unfortunately we are experiencing some minor issues with an order placed for components that are needed for upgrading the server. We have to postpone the launch for another week. We expect to relaunch the program around September 10th, 2007 on Linux and Windows platforms. We will announce the exact day later on.

Status Update
We have solved the issue with the server components. We received them from a different supplier after cancelling the first order. We will set up the server and prepare for the launch. It looks like everything will be ready in a couple of days.

Oct 19, 2007 Status Update

We are almost done with the preparations for changing the hosting company and increasing the reliability of the Internet connection. It looks like we should be able to open the user registration on the week of October 22-26. The site and the mail server will experience some downtime prior to the move

Neuerdings eine seltsame Log-Nachricht:

Code: Select all

Artificial Intelligence System|Scheduler RPC succeeded [server version 601]
Artificial Intelligence System|Message from server: You may have an outdated code verification key.  This may prevent you from accepting new executables.  If the problem persists, detach/attach the project.
Vielleicht ändert sich noch die Adresse?

Dec 19, 2007 Status Update
We have finalized the data importing, database integration and we have generated 1,000,000 neurons to test the simulator speed. It takes around 4 hours on a 2 year old machine to process 100,000 neurons for a duration of 50 milliseconds. We are now able to run simultaneously multiple processes on the same machine; that means we can easily scale up to reach the maximum available resources on any machine.
We have released the system architecture document. This is where we are heading. The document is not complete and some of the listed features have already been implemented, since it has been over 2 years since we started the work on the simulator.
We will be running a simulation on the internal newtork first and then we will have the project started.

Heute ist eine Linux App rausgekommen, ein DL einer WU liegt bei ca. 40MB, die Geschwindigkeit ist mehr als bescheiden, mal sehen was am Ende rauskommt, geladen wird bei mir in ubuntu 7.04 vmware.

Update:
Die erste App verabschiedet sich nach ca. 9min Rechenzeit, 100%, wird aber nicht beendet, scheint wohl was in der Programmierung vergessen wurden zu sein.

Project Launch

The project has been launched. We have generated a couple hundred work units consisting of 5,000 neurons each. 72 workunits have been processed successfully. The results section from the main project page contain more information about that.

A larger number of workunits have returned errors due to slow connection issues. The Internet connection is very slow and that will be fixed over the next couple of days. The site and server will be down again for a couple of hours during the server move. These issues are the result of the server crash from last week. No data has been lost.

We have opened the forums and have set up RSS news feeds. Next step will be to launch the Windows client application.
Der Speed der Webseite ist jetzt etwas schneller.

Status Update

We will finalize soon the release of the simulator for all platforms (i.e. Unix, Windows, Mac) and that would conclude the first phase of the project. The estimate is about one or two weeks for all of them. We would also like provide an update and present a timeline of the overall project for the near-term future, about one year from now on.

Once we will be able to estimate more precisely the number of machines, time, disk size, bandwidth and other requirements for simulating the entire brain we will prepare a short report and we will send it to publication. That would probably happen in a couple of months. To date over 4000 WUs have been processed successfully. That is over 9,000,000 neurons simulated. The rat has an estimated 21,000,000 neurons. We should bypass this figure within one or two weeks.

In a couple of months we will also release a video presentation of the project for the public at large. We expect to increase the awareness of our work and to continue the public education in a gradual fashion. This will remain an important goal of the project.

While the neural simulator is the main aplication we have started three other projects: the visualization application, the neuronal generation program and the knowledge acquisition. We have already advanced to some degree with all of them due to the previous months of work performed on that. A lot more work is still required though. The visualization software will allow us to view and control in real-time what happens inside the neuronal simulator. The neuronal generator is going to be a computing-intensive application because it will use evolutionary computing (i.e. genetic algorithms) to build neurons. These neurons will later on be simulated using the simulator and visualized using the visual program.

We will restart working on the neuronal generator as soon as we release all the client applications.

The knowledge acquisition program is needed for the learning component of the system. Once the system will have that up and running we would need to train the system and feed it with information so that it can build its knowledge base. We plan on using plain text files with data: articles, books, dictionaries. Most Internet pages are copyrighted so the challenge would be to find sources of information that provide content in the public domain for this project. We put he initial project files under the aisystem/know folder in the source code.

The visualization program will have lower priority during all this period. We will also continue working on the simulator.

Es werden nur wenige aller paar Minuten generiert, sind aber auch eine Menge hosts die die abgreifen, mit etwas Glück bekommt man welche.

Mit etwas Glück ist gut - man muß den Rechner schon frei haben - und dann hab ich tatsächlich mal ein paar Linux-WUs bekommen - andere noch gar nicht. Oder gibt es gar keine WIN-WUs?

Ja, es gibt nur eine Linux App, die Win folgt später ;)

Die Windows-Anwendung ist schon in Arbeit, Thread ist hier zu finden:

Erste Tests waren schon erfolgreich, dürfe also nicht mehr lange dauern.

Hi there,

There have been 24,427 work units processed successfully for a total of 61,067,500 neurons simulated.

We will implement a new version of the client for Unix and Windows and then the other platforms. We will reduce the size of the download file to 20K, and we will include the neuronal generator in the client version. That in turn would lead to increase computational times, from a couple of minutes to hours. We have also added checkpointing to the client to prevent losses against accidental crashes.

The work unit will generate the neurons, simulate them and then remove them. We are looking forward on implementing these changes as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Ovidiu
Endlich Futter für Windows Maschinen, inkl. Checkpoints, die Dateigröße pro WU wurde von 20MB auf 20kb reduziert!
