For those who interested in the hardware implementation of neural networks, this project simulates neurons on the software level, however neuromorphic TrueNorth chip does the same job on hardware level which enable faster and more efficient applications.

Side note, hardware accelerated doesn't necessarily mean it's faster. For example, Java chips never took off because an x86 with a really good JIT does the job better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor

However, depending on how flexibly you can program it, it may not be quite as useful.
