Structure of one hypercolumn unit (HCU) of the reduced cortex model. Each HCU contains 100 stochastic minicolumn units (MCUs) that compete in a winner-take-all fashion. Input spikes from 10,000 MCUs of other HCUs connect via 1 million BCPNN synapses to all 100 MCUs of the HCU. Each MCU sends its output spikes to 100 other HCUs. In order to store all Z,E,P traces and synaptic weights of the HCU, more than 12 MB memory is required when using floating point numbers with single-precision.
