Spiking Neural Network Integrated Circuits: A Review of Trends and Future Directions

Arindam Basu, Charlotte Frenkel, Lei Deng, Xueyong Zhang

In this paper, we reviewed Spiking neural network (SNN) integrated circuit designs and analyzed the trends among mixed-signal cores, fully digital cores and large-scale, multi-core designs. Recently reported SNN integrated circuits are compared under three broad categories: (a) Large-scale multi-core designs that have dedicated NOC for spike routing, (b) digital single-core designs and (c) mixed-signal single-core designs. Finally, we finish the paper with some directions for future progress.
