By processing based on binary input/output, SNNs offer lower complexity, higher density and lower power consumption. This work presents an efficient software-hardware design framework for developing SNN systems in hardware. In addition, a design of low-cost neurosynaptic core is presented based on packet-switching communication approach. The evaluation results show that the ANN to SNN conversion method with the size 784:1200:1200:10 performs 99% accuracy for MNIST while the unsupervised STDP archives 89% with the size 784:400 with recurrent connections. The design of 256-neurons and 65k synapses is also implemented in ASIC 45nm technology with an area cost of 0.205 mm2. date: 2019-12-22 date_type: published official_url: http://www.iintec.org/ full_text_status: public pres_type: paper event_title: The International Conference on Internet of Things, Embedded Systems and Communications (IINTEC 2019) event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Dang, Nam Khanh and Abdallah, Abderazek Ben (2019) An Efficient Software-Hardware Design Framework for Spiking Neural Network Systems.
