Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spiking neural network computing based on e.g., a multi-layer kernel architecture, shared dendritic encoding, and/or thresholding of accumulated spiking signals. In one embodiment, a thresholding accumulator is disclosed that reduces spiking activity between different stages of a neuromorphic processor. Spiking activity can be directly related to power consumption and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); thus, various embodiments trade-off the costs and benefits associated with threshold accumulation. For example, reducing spiking activity (e.g., by a factor of 10) during an encoding stage can have minimal impact on downstream fidelity (SNR) for a decoding stage, while yielding substantial improvements in power consumption.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spiking neural network computing based on e.g., a multi-layer kernel architecture, shared dendritic encoding, and/or thresholding of accumulated spiking signals. In one exemplary embodiment, a multi-layer mixed-signal kernel is disclosed that uses different characteristics of its constituent stages to perform neuromorphic computing. Specifically, analog domain processing inexpensively provides diversity, speed, and efficiency, whereas digital domain processing enables a variety of complex logical manipulations (e.g., digital noise rejection, error correction, arithmetic manipulations, etc.). Isolating different processing techniques into different stages between the layers of a multi-layer kernel results in substantial operational efficiencies.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems for testing pre and post system call exits. Aspects include executing a first test case comprises system calls and the first test case initializes a common buffer and stores system call parameters for each of the system calls. A monitoring test case is executed comprising: a pre-exit instruction that is inserted before each system call in the first test case. A post-exit instruction is inserted after each of the system calls in the first test case. Execution of the pre-exit instruction is determined prior to an execution of each system call. A first bit location is set in the common buffer to one, based on determining the pre-exit instruction executes. The system call is executed and execution of the post-exit instruction is determined. A second bit location in the common buffer is set to one based on determining that the post-exit instruction executes.
