  • Publication number: 20210304005
    Abstract: A neuromorphic computing apparatus has a network of neuromorphic cores, with each core including an input axon and a plurality of neurons having synapses. The input axon is associated with an input data store to store an input trace representing a time series of filtered pre-synaptic spike events, and accessible by the synapses of the plurality of neurons of the core. Each neuron includes at least one dendritic compartment to store and process variables representing a dynamic state of the neuron. Each compartment is associated with a compartment-specific data store to store an output trace representing a time series of filtered post-synaptic spike events. Each neuron includes a learning engine to apply a set of one or more learning rules based on the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic spike events to produce an adjustment of parameters of a corresponding synapse to those spike events.

  • Patent number: 10810488
    Abstract: Systems and methods may include neuromorphic traffic control, such as between cores on a chip or between cores on different chips. The neuromorphic traffic control may include a plurality of routers organized in a mesh to transfer messages; and a plurality of neuron cores connected to the plurality of routers, the neuron cores in the plurality of neuron cores to advance in discrete time-steps, send spike messages to other neuron cores in the plurality of neuron cores during a time-step, and send barrier messages.

  • Patent number: 7934031
    Abstract: An asynchronous logic family of circuits which communicate on delay-insensitive flow-controlled channels with 4-phase handshakes and 1 of N encoding, compute output data directly from input data using domino logic, and use the state-holding ability of the domino logic to implement pipelining without additional latches.

  • Publication number: 20020156995
    Abstract: An asynchronous processor having pipelined instruction fetching and execution to implement concurrent execution of instructions by two or more execution units. A writeback unit is connected to execution units and memory units to control information updates and to handle precise exception. A pipelined completion mechanism can be implemented to improve the throughput.
