understanding what processes the brain carries out goes beyond being aware of its structure and localised functionalities. i don't see why this high level understand would be a prerequisite to running a simulation of the brain. by the way, hardware and software is always the same thing. my simulation of a laptop will include a pattern of high and low magnetic charges on its simulated hard disc, without my understanding the software which those patterns ultimately actualise.
