The Human Brain

The Human Brain.....

Programmer’s brain has hundred billions neurons and one hundred trillion neural connections each operating at few hundred analog calculations per second. However, most of processing is dedicated to life support functions, not information processing. Human neural networks are much slower than modern digital processors, but have an amazing efficiency for parallel processing, aggregating and deciding upon results.

Probably, mass computers will achieve comparable processing power by the year 2020. But does it automatically mean that they can compete with human programmers?
There are technical challenges like improving computers parallel and distributed processing and algorithms. But the main challenge is that computers should become intelligent to write programs – understand problem space, people and come up with solutions.
