Abstract

Supervised learning algorithm for Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) based on Remote Supervised Method (ReSuMe) uses spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) to adjust the synaptic weights. In this work, we present an optimal network configuration amenable to digital CMOS implementation and show that just 5 bits of resolution for the synaptic weights is sufficient to achieve fast convergence. We estimate that the implementation of this optimal network architecture in \(65\,\)nm and a futuristic \(10\,\)nm digital CMOS could result in systems with close to 0.85 and 30 Million Synaptic Updates Per Second (MSUPS)/Watt.
