Thema: "Development and Evaluation of Architecture Concepts for a System-on-Chip Based Neuromorphic Compute Node for Accelerated and Reproducible Simulations of Spiking Neural Networks in Neuroscience"

Despite the great strides neuroscience has made in recent decades, the underlying principles of brain function remain largely unknown. Advancing the field strongly depends on the ability to study large-scale neural networks and perform complex simulations. Simulations in hyper-real time are of high interest here, as they would enable both comprehensive parameter scans and the study of slow processes such as learning and long-term memory. Recent developments in FPGA System-on-Chip technology promise significant performance improvements. Acceleration factors in the order of 100 become within reach, even for the simulation of large-scale spiking neural networks.
