Development of Neuromorphic Accelerator

摘要

The paper shows the design of a neuromorphic accelerator, as well as unified design solutions for creating a scalable modular system of neuromorphic accelerators. The neuromorphic accelerator based on the FPGA was developed. It allows simulating up to 131 thousand neurons with 67 million synaptic connections. The neuromorphic cross-connection board, which is the universal platform for working with the neuromorphic accelerators and neural networks that they stimulate, was developed. One cross connection board allows placing up to 16 neuromorphic accelerators, which makes a simulation of up to 2 million neurons with a total number of synaptic connections of up to 1 billion possible. An energy consumption analysis was made for every developed device.
