Summary
DayOne unveiled Singapore’s first biological data center prototype at NUS Medicine, installing a 20-unit Cortical Labs CL1 system in a live research environment.
The setup uses living neurons grown from stem cells and linked to silicon hardware, aiming to handle some computing tasks at a fraction of the power used by conventional digital systems.
Cortical Labs called the rack the world’s first independently operated biologically integrated server rack, while NUS Medicine will explore uses in neuro-inspired AI, drug discovery and neurological disease research.
The launch aligns with Singapore’s Green Data Center Roadmap as the country expands AI and cloud capacity under tighter energy and environmental limits.
For DayOne, which has secured about 2.1 GW of bookings across nine Asia-Pacific and European markets, the prototype also serves as a model it says could be replicated globally.
