Title
Design and FPGA implementation of an embedded real-time biologically plausible spiking neural network processor
Abstract
The implementation of a large scale, leaky-integrate-and-fire neural network processor using the Xilinx Virtex-II family of field programmable gate array (FPGA) is presented. The processor has been designed to model biologically plausible networks of spiking neurons in real-time to assist with the control of a mobile robot. The real-time constraint has led to a re-evaluation of some of the established architectural and algorithmic features of previous spiking neural network based hardware. The design was coded and simulated using Handel-C hardware description language (HDL) and the DK3 design suite from Celoxica. The processor has been physically implemented and tested on a RC200 development board, also from Celoxica.
