Embodiment Construction

[0049] Devices, systems, and / or methods are described to enable firing rate independent computation for neural networks (eg, brain models) by improving communication performance between neuromorphic architectures.

[0050] The highly distributed nature of neural networks, such as the animal nervous system, presents unique challenges in theoretical and computational models of neurobiology. Whether neural network models aim to provide a deeper understanding of biological function or build smarter agents, the rather limited parallelization inherent in all modern computing architectures should be overcome to achieve models that accurately represent the highly parallel nature of biology. Methods and systems according to the present disclosure can be applied in general simulation environments as well as in specialized computing environments (eg, neuromorphic architectures).

[0051] Embodiments of the present disclosure include simulating spiking neural networks. According to an em...

Abstract

A neural network portion comprising N pre-synaptic neurons capable each of firing an action potential, wherein the number N can be encoded in a word of n bits; the neural network portion being provided for, upon firing of a number F of pre-synaptic neurons in a predetermined period of time: if F.n<N, generating a first type message, the message comprising a unique address for each pre-synaptic neuron having fired in said predetermined period of time, each address being encoded as a word of n bits; and if F.n>N, generating a second type message, the message comprising N bits and being encoded in words of n bits, wherein each one of said N pre-synaptic neurons is represented by a unique bit, each bit having a first value if the pre-synaptic neuron represented by the bit fired in said predetermined period of time, and a second value otherwise.
