Neuromorphic event-driven neural computing architecture in a scalable neural network

A system comprising a computer processor, a computer-readable hardware storage device, and program code embodied with the computer-readable hardware storage device for execution by the computer processor to implement a method for triangulating multiple failed processing elements, the method comprising:

• maintaining an electronic synapse array comprising multiple electronic synapses interconnecting multiple electronic neurons, wherein the multiple electronic synapses and the multiple electronic neurons are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns, and each row and each column has a corresponding row serving module and a corresponding column serving module, respectively;
• and
• each row serving module and each column serving module utilizing a distributed mutual exclusion protocol to adaptively control access of one or more spiking electronic neurons of the multiple electronic neurons to an output bus for delivery of one or more outgoing spikes generated by the one or more spiking electronic neurons based on rate of outgoing spikes generated by the multiple electronic neurons.
