    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for allocating memory in an artificial nervous system simulator implemented in hardware. According to certain aspects, memory resource requirements for one or more components of an artificial nervous system being simulated may be determined and portions of a shared memory pool (which may include on-chip and/or off-chip RAM) may be allocated to the components based on the determination.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure support operating simultaneously multiple super neuron processing units in an artificial nervous system, wherein a plurality of artificial neurons is assigned to each super neuron processing unit. The super neuron processing units can be interfaced with a memory for storing and loading synaptic weights and plasticity parameters of the artificial nervous system, wherein organization of the memory allows contiguous memory access.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for inferring and accounting for missing post-synaptic events (e.g., a post-synaptic spike that is not associated with any pre-synaptic spikes) at an artificial neuron and adjusting spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) accordingly. One example method generally includes receiving, at an artificial neuron, a plurality of pre-synaptic spikes associated with a synapse, tracking a plurality of post-synaptic spikes output by the artificial neuron, and determining at least one of the post-synaptic spikes is associated with none of the plurality of pre-synaptic spikes. According to certain aspects, determining inferring missing post-synaptic events may be accomplished by using a flag, counter, or other variable that is updated on post-synaptic firings. If this post-ghost variable changes between pre-synaptic-triggered adjustments, then the artificial nervous system can determine there was a missing post-synaptic pairing.
