AER-SRT: Scalable spike distribution by means of synchronous serial ring topology address event representation

Abstract: Given the massive number of interconnects in Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), distributing spikes effciently becomes a critical issue for the efficient hardware emulation of large-scale SNNs. In this work, the AER-SRT (Address Event Representation over Synchronous Serial Ring Topology) architecture for spike transmission is proposed. AER-SRT is a light, easily scalable, packet-based solution implemented with high-speed serial link for multi-chip SNN communication. The channel uses a unidirectional, point-to-poi… Show more

“…All the above has been taken into account in SNAVA and it has been designed to support all the SNN models that follow the conventional threshold-based spiking approach, right from the simplest IF model to the complex Iglesias and Villa with STDP [25], where the communication between neurons is only through spikes. In addition, SNAVA is a scalable architecture and has the flexibility to be implemented into several chips forming a system in any topology of user's choice [26]. The design of SNAVA architecture was based on three key ideas that have contributed to simulate large-scale SNN models at high processing speeds and communication speeds.…”

“…Therefore, several neurons could be simulated in that time by using the same array. the AER bus the broadcasted addresses of the neurons that spiked [26] and generates matches if the PE has synaptic connections to that neuron. This match is stored in the position that corresponds to the synaptic connection in the spike register.…”
