HFNet: A CNN Architecture Co-designed for Neuromorphic Hardware With a Crossbar Array of Synapses

Abstract: The hardware-software co-optimization of neural network architectures is a field of research that emerged with the advent of commercial neuromorphic chips, such as the IBM TrueNorth and Intel Loihi. Development of simulation and automated mapping software tools in tandem with the design of neuromorphic hardware, whilst taking into consideration the hardware constraints, will play an increasingly significant role in deployment of system-level applications. This paper illustrates the importance and benefits of c… Show more

“…The architecture seen in Fig. 2 [31] works well for binarized synapses. However, if multilevel weights (using MLC cells) are employed, then the device resistances drift over time and the variance of the MLC states increases with time (on the order of hours to days) and temperature [25], [32].…”

“…However, this assumes that the spikes are sparse and ignores AER collisions and the need for asynchronous buffers which are complex to implement. A fully parallel realization of CNN has recently been attempted where the inputs are 'unrolled' and mapped to larger RRAM array(s) [19], [30], [31]. In a simple block-based scheme, convolution operation with…”
