NEUROMORPHIC EVENT-DRIVEN NEURAL COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE IN A SCALABLE NEURAL NETWORK

An event-driven neural network including a plurality of interconnected core circuits is provided. Each core circuit includes an electronic synapse array that has multiple digital synapses interconnecting a plurality of digital electronic neurons. A synapse interconnects an axon of a pre-synaptic neuron with a dendrite of a post-synaptic neuron. A neuron integrates input spikes and generates a spike event in response to the integrated input spikes exceeding a threshold. Each core circuit also has a scheduler that receives a spike event and delivers the spike event to a selected axon in the synapse array based on a schedule for deterministic event delivery.
