VALUE SYNCHRONIZATION ACROSS NEURAL PROCESSORS

摘要

Values are synchronized across processing blocks in a neural network by encoding spikes in a first processing block with a value to be shared across the neural network. The spikes may be transmitted to a second processing block in the neural network via an interblock interface. The received spikes are decoded in the second processing block so as to generate a value that is synchronized with the value of the first processing block.

1. A method for synchronizing values across processing blocks, comprising:
generating spikes corresponding to a first value in a first processing block; and transmitting the spikes across an inter-block interface from the first processing block to a second processing block, the spikes being encoded with the first value such that a second value generated in the second processing block based on the spikes will be synchronized with the first value.
