    摘要: One embodiment of the invention provides a system for mapping a neural network onto a neurosynaptic substrate. The system comprises a reordering unit for reordering at least one dimension of an adjacency matrix representation of the neural network. The system further comprises a mapping unit for selecting a mapping method suitable for mapping at least one portion of the matrix representation onto the substrate, and mapping the at least one portion of the matrix representation onto the substrate utilizing the mapping method selected. The system further comprises a refinement unit for receiving user input regarding at least one criterion relating to accuracy or resource utilization of the substrate. The system further comprises an evaluating unit for evaluating each mapped portion against each criterion. Each mapped portion that fails to satisfy a criterion may be remapped to allow trades offs between accuracy and resource utilization of the substrate.

    摘要: Neural inference chips for computing neural activations are provided. In various embodiments, a neural inference chip comprises at least one neural core, a memory array, an instruction buffer, and an instruction memory. The instruction buffer has a position corresponding to each of a plurality of elements of the memory array. The instruction memory provides at least one instruction to the instruction buffer. The instruction buffer advances the at least one instruction between positions in the instruction buffer. The instruction buffer provides the at least one instruction to at least one of the plurality of elements of the memory array from its associated position in the instruction buffer when the memory of the at least one of the plurality of elements contains data associated with the at least one instruction. Each element of the memory array provides a data block from its memory to its horizontal buffer in response to the arrival of an associated instruction from the instruction buffer. The horizontal buffer of each element of the memory array provides a data block to the horizontal buffer of another of the elements of the memory array or to the at least one neural core.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to providing fault-tolerant power minimization in a multi-core neurosynaptic network. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of and computer program product for fault-tolerant power-driven synthesis is provided. Power consumption of a neurosynaptic network is modeled as wire length. The neurosynaptic network comprises a plurality of neurosynaptic cores connected by a plurality of routers. At least one faulty core of the plurality of neurosynaptic cores is located. A placement blockage is modeled at the location of the at least one faulty core. A placement of the neurosynaptic cores is determined by minimizing the wire length.
