Study on neuromorphic computation and its applications

Abstract

Neuromorphic computing offers a promising alternative to traditional von Neumann architectures, especially for applications that require efficient processing in edge environments. The challenge lies in optimizing spiking neural networks (SNNs) for these environments to achieve high computational efficiency, particularly in event-driven applications. This paper investigates the integration of advanced simulation tools, such as Simeuro and SuperNeuro, to enhance SNN performance on edge devices. Through comprehensive studies of various SNN models, a novel SNN design with optimized hardware components is proposed, focusing on energy and communication efficiency. The results demonstrate significant improvements in computational efficiency and performance, validating the potential of neuromorphic architectures for executing event-driven scientific applications. The findings suggest that neuromorphic computing can transform the way edge devices handle event-driven tasks, offering a pathway for future innovations in diverse application domains.
