Abstract: A neuromorphic processing module (1) for time-multiplexed execution of a spiking neural network is provided that comprises a plurality of neural units. Each neural unit is capable of assuming a neural state, and has a respective addressable memory entry in a neuron state memory unit (11) for storing state information specifying its neural state. The state information for each neural unit is computed and updated in a time-multiplexed manner by a processing facility (10, neural controller) in the processing module, depending on event messages destined for said neural unit.
