Abstract
A thermodynamic RAM apparatus includes a physical substrate of addressable adaptive synapses that are temporarily partitioned to emulate adaptive neurons of arbitrary sizes, wherein the physical substrate mates electronically with a digital computing platform for high-throughput and low-power neuromorphic adaptive learning applications. The physical substrate addressable adaptive synapses can be configured as a part of a memristor-based physical neural processing unit.
Claims11
A thermodynamic RAM apparatus, comprising:
- a collection of thermodynamic cores;
- and
- a plurality of common read out electrodes, wherein each thermodynamic core among said collection of thermodynamic cores comprises a physical substrate of individually addressable adaptive synapses that are selectively coupled to said plurality of common read-out electrodes, and wherein said physical substrate provides a synaptic integration and a learning resource for digital computing platforms.
A method for synaptic integration and learning with thermodynamic RAM, said method comprising:
- coupling individual synaptic elements to common driving electrodes;
- and
- executing at least one instruction via an AHaH (Anti-Hebbian and Hebbian) controller to drive said common driving electrodes.
A thermodynamic RAM apparatus, comprising
- physical substrate of addressable adaptive synapses that are partitioned to emulate adaptive neurons of arbitrary sizes, wherein said physical substrate mates electronically with a digital computing platform for neuromorphic adaptive learning applications.
