Neuromorphic (brain‑inspired) hardware plus new algorithms can efficiently solve partial differential equations, the core math behind fluid dynamics, electromagnetics and structural modeling. If scalable, this approach could create a new class of energy‑efficient supercomputers optimized for scientific simulation rather than for standard neural‑net training.
— A practical pathway to neuromorphic supercomputers would reshape energy and procurement choices for climate modeling, defense simulation, and industrial design, as well as redirect R&D funding toward neuroscience‑inspired computing architectures.
