Automotive Computing, Neuromorphic Computing, and Beyond

Welcome to 2018 and IEEE Micro’s 38th year. I’m delighted about last year’s issues. In addition to the traditional special issues on Hot Chips and Top Picks, we had special issues on cognitive architectures, architectures for the post-Moore era, Cool Chips and Hot Interconnects, and ultra-low-power processors. I deeply appreciate the efforts of everyone who reviewed the many articles submitted ...

ReRAM-Based Neuromorphic Computing

Artificial neural networks are currently being used as a promising means to solve problems in machine learning and computer science [1–3]. These networks are loosely inspired by massively parallel biological neural systems, but they are often implemented on mostly sequential hardware computing platforms, ignoring key features of real neural processing systems, such as their ability to carry out...

Large-scale neuromorphic computing systems.

Neuromorphic computing covers a diverse range of approaches to information processing all of which demonstrate some degree of neurobiological inspiration that differentiates them from mainstream conventional computing systems. The philosophy behind neuromorphic computing has its origins in the seminal work carried out by Carver Mead at Caltech in the late 1980s. This early work influenced other...

Photonic Neuromorphic Signal Processing and Computing

There has been a recent explosion of interest in spiking neural networks (SNNs), which code information as spikes or events in time. Spike encoding iswidely accepted as the information medium underlying the brain, but it has also inspired a new generation of neuromorphic hardware. Although electronics can match biological time scales and exceed them, they eventually reach a bandwidth fan-in tra...
