On-chip Self Timed SNN Custom Digital Interconnect System

A Spiking neural network (SNN) is a type of artificial neural network which encodes information using spike timing, network structure, and synaptic weights to emulate the information processing function of the human brain. Within an SNN, it is always required to support the spike transmission that travels between neurons(array). This thesis aims...

Self-timed interconnect for SNN - From Point to Point Communication to Multi-array Segmented-bus Solution

Spiking Neural Networks use Address Event Representation to communicate among different Neuron Arrays. To mimic the behavior of the human neural system and meets the requirement for large Neuron Array communication, the AER interconnect should be area-saving, have low power, and operates at high speed.<br/>This thesis aims to build self-timed...
