Re:IBM Chip Processes Data Similar to the Way Your Brain Does by apw on Thursday August 07, 2014 @04:57PM (#8150101)
One possibility is to use the neuromorphic chips as souped-up branch predictors -- instead of predicting one bit, as in a branch predictor, predict all bits relevant for speculative execution. This can effect large-scale automatic parallelization.

See this paper at ASPLOS '14 for details:
