摘要

传统的卷积神经网络在训练和识别阶段通常都需要用高能耗的GPU，无法应用到需要小型低功耗设备的移动应用场景中.本文设计了一种用于识别手写体的数字脉冲卷积神经网络神经形态硬件VLSI架构，根据脉冲神经网络设计的神经形态硬件系统只有在有输入脉冲到来时硬件才会进行相应处理，从而能达到很低的能耗.在识别MNIST数据集时，卷积神经网络识别精度为99.0%，使用该神经形态硬件的识别精度能达到98.46%.相比于相同硬件结构的传统卷积神经网络，平均能耗大大降低.

Abstract

In recent years

neural network technology has developed rapidly and reached a level comparable to human recognition in the field of image recognition. Traditional convolutional neural networks usually require GPU with high energy consumption in the training and recognition stage

so they cannot be applied to mobile applications requiring small and low-power devices. This paper presents a neuromorphic hardware architecture of spiking convolutional neural networks for recognizing handwriting numbers. Because the neuromorphic only operates when there is a spike input

it can achieve a low power consumption accordingly. When recognizing the MNIST data set

the accuracy of the traditional convolution neural network is 99.0%

whereas the accuracy of the neuromorphic hardware is 98.46%. Therefore

the neuromorphic hardware achieved a comparable recognition accuracy while lowering down the power consumption greatly compared to CNN with a similar hardware architecture.
