Open-source SNN accelerator integrated into FPGA-based neuromorphic SoC

Researchers have developed a heterogeneous System-on-Chip (SoC) that integrates an open-source Recurrent Spiking Neural Network (SNN) accelerator called ReckOn. This design aims to bring efficient, low-power neuromorphic computing to edge devices by implementing SNNs on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), offering a cost-effective alternative to silicon tape-outs. The SoC manages ReckOn's operations alongside traditional processors like the RISC-V-based X-HEEP microcontroller and ARM processors, validating accuracy and evaluating online learning capabilities.
