Designing and training an appropriate spiking neural network for neuromorphic deployment remains an open challenge in neuromorphic computing. In 2016, researchers from ORNL introduced an approach for…

Though robustness and resilience are commonly quoted as features of neuromorphic computing systems, the expected performance of neuromorphic systems in the face of hardware failures is not clear.…

Designing spiking neural networks for neuromorphic deployment is a non-trivial task.  It is further complicated when there are resource constraints for the neuromorphic implementation, such as…

Designing a neuromorphic computing system involves selection of several hyperparameters that not only affect the accuracy of the framework, but also the energy efficiency and speed of inference and…

In this work, we discuss an approach for that utilizes high-performance computing (HPC) to evolve the hyperparameters and topology of convolutional neural networks in order to investigate the ability…

Our deep learning framework is called Multinode Evolutionary Neural Networks for Deep Learning (MENNDL).  MENNDL relies on two optimization methods, genetic algorithms and support vector…
