A multi-chip pulse-based neuromorphic infrastructure and its application to a cortical model of orientation selectivity
The growing interest in pulse-mode processing by neural networks is encouraging the development of hardware implementations of massively parallel networks of Integrate-and-Fire (I&F) neurons distributed over multiple chips. Address-event representation (AER) has long been considered a convenient transmission protocol for spike based neuromorphic devices. One missing, long-needed feature of AER-...
متن کاملA PCI based high-fanout AER mapper with 2 GiB RAM look-up table, 0.8 µs latency and 66MHz output event-rate
Neuromorphic systems have been increasing in size and complexity in recent years, thanks also the adoption of the Address-Event Representation (AER) as a standard for transmitting signals among chips, and building multi-chip event-based systems. AER mapper devices that route AddressEvents from multiple sources to different multiple destinations are crucial components of these systems, as they a...
متن کاملMulti-Chip Neuromorphic Motion Processing
We describe a multi-chip CMOS VLSI visual motion processing system which combines analog circuitry with an asynchronous digital interchip communications protocol to allow more complex motion processing than is possible with all the circuitry in the focal plane. The two basic VLSI building blocks are a sender chip which incorporates a 2D imager array and transmits the position of moving spatial ...
متن کاملInterfacing with address events
Address event representation (AER)1 has long been considered a convenient transmission protocol for neuromorphic devices. This is because messages are transmitted by an asynchronous sequence of all-or-nothing ‘digital’ spikes, carrying information in the (analog) pattern of inter-spike time intervals. One evolution of the originally proposed point-to-point AER protocol is a many-to-many, fully-...
متن کاملNeuromorphic selective attention systems
Selective attention mechanisms allow sensory systems with limited processing capacity to function in real time independent of the size of the stimulus input space. They can be particularly useful in vision systems, where the amount of information provided by the sensors typically exceeds the system’s processing capacity. We present circuits for implementing models of selective attention mechani...
