NDLI: Neuromorphic processing:a new frontier in scaling computer architecture (CARN, Vol. 42, Issue. 1)

Abstract	The desire to build a computer that operates in the same manner as our brains is as old as the computer itself. Although computer engineering has made great strides in hardware performance as a result of Dennard scaling, and even great advances in 'brain like' computation, the field still struggles to move beyond sequential, analytical computing architectures. Neuromorphic systems are being developed to transcend the barriers imposed by silicon power consumption, develop new algorithms that help machines achieve cognitive behaviors, and both exploit and enable further research in neuroscience. In this talk I will discuss a system im-plementing spiking neural networks. These systems hold the promise of an architecture that is event based, broad and shallow, and thus more power efficient than conventional computing solu-tions. This new approach to computation based on modeling the brain and its simple but highly connected units presents a host of new challenges. Hardware faces tradeoffs such as density or lower power at the cost of high interconnection overhead. Consequently, software systems must face choices about new language design. Highly distributed hardware systems require complex place and route algorithms to distribute the execution of the neural network across a large number of highly interconnected processing units. Finally, the overall design, simulation and testing process has to be entirely reimagined. We discuss these issues in the context of the Zeroth processor and how this approach compares to other neuromorphic systems that are becoming available.
