Energy efficient parallel neuromorphic architectures with approximate arithmetic on FPGA

Motivation

To address the slow operation and high energy and resource consumption problem caused by realizing spiking neural network (SNN) using software.

Problem

1. software : slow operation, high energy consumption and space resources
2. analog circuits: hard to reconfigure and intrinsically sensitive to process, voltage and temperature (PVT) Var.
3. FPGA: most of works focus on the acceleration of SNN without considering energy consumption and efficiency of resource utilization.
4. This work presented the parallel neuromorphic processor architectures with approximate arithmetic for SNN on FPGA.
