A multi-sender asynchronous extension to the AER protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
The address-event representation (AER) is an asynchronous point-to-point communications protocol for silicon neural systems. This paper describes an extension of the AER protocol that allows multiple AER senders to share a common bus. A fully-functional silicon implementation of the extended protocol is described, as well as a functional board-level system of several of these chips sharing a common bus.

Interfacing 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 کاملAn Asynchronous 4-to-4 AER Mapper
In this paper, a fully functional prototype of an asynchronous 4-to-4 Address Event Representation (AER) mapper is presented. AER is an event driven communication protocol originally used in VLSI implementations of neural networks to transfer action potentials between neurons. Often, this protocol is used for direct inter-chip communication between neuromorphic chips containing assemblies of ne...
متن کاملDecentralized and Cooperative Multi-Sensor Multi-Target Tracking With Asynchronous Bearing Measurements
Bearings only tracking is a challenging issue with many applications in military and commercial areas. In distributed multi-sensor multi-target bearings only tracking, sensors are far from each other, but are exchanging data using telecommunication equipment. In addition to the general benefits of distributed systems, this tracking system has another important advantage: if the sensors are suff...
متن کاملAsynchronously and Perfectly Secure Communication over One-time Pads
The “One-Time Pad” is a fundamental cryptographic protocol as it represents the ideal in secure unidirectional communication (i.e., in cases where there is a designated sender and a designated receiver) both in terms of security (in the presence of eavesdroppers) as well as in terms of computational efficiency. Surprisingly, no modeling and investigation of this protocol has been done in import...
متن کاملCommunication Optimal Multi-valued Asynchronous Broadcast Protocol
Broadcast (BC) is considered as the most fundamental primitive for fault-tolerant distributed computing and cryptographic protocols. An important and practical variant of BC is Asynchronous BC (known as A-cast). An A-cast protocol enables a specific party called sender (possibly corrupted) to send some message identically to a set of parties despite the presence of an adversary who may corrupt ...
