NuPIC implementation in Actor Model?

[rhyolight]

Jordan, have you seen @d-led’s HTM implementation in Pony?

Strategy for Concurrent HTM Implementation

Such partitioning looks like a perfect fit for the Actor Model. Each independent activity (SDR/pooler) could be modeled as an actor, even within one machine. The communication overhead on one machine would be negligible. Scaling out to other machines would be natural as well as messaging is transparent in the actor model. The concurrency would not need complex synchronization given a good actor model implementation. The scheduler would automatically utilize available cores. (E.g. see Pony and E…
