论文摘要
Brainscales-2是一种混合信号加速神经形态系统,其针对计算神经科学领域的研究和von-neumann计算领域。为了增强其灵活性,模拟神经网络核心伴随着嵌入式SIMD微处理器。 BrainScales操作系统(Brainscales OS)是一种软件堆栈,旨在供勃雷式体系体系结构的用户友好操作。我们介绍并浏览为Brainscales-2体系结构引入的软件架构增强功能。最后,使用二次brainscales-2原型,我们在基于基于峰值的期望最大化的示例实验中演示了其应用。
BrainScaleS-2 is a mixed-signal accelerated neuromorphic system targeted for research in the fields of computational neuroscience and beyond-von-Neumann computing. To augment its flexibility, the analog neural network core is accompanied by an embedded SIMD microprocessor. The BrainScaleS Operating System (BrainScaleS OS) is a software stack designed for the user-friendly operation of the BrainScaleS architectures. We present and walk through the software-architectural enhancements that were introduced for the BrainScaleS-2 architecture. Finally, using a second-version BrainScaleS-2 prototype we demonstrate its application in an example experiment based on spike-based expectation maximization.
