摘要: Memristor-based neuromorphic computing system provides a promising solution to significantly boost the power efficiency of system. has wide range design choices, such as various memristor crossbar cell designs and different parallelism degrees peripheral circuits. However, memristor-based simulator, which is able model realize an early-stage space exploration, still missing. In this paper, we develop simulation platform (MNSIM). MNSIM proposes general hierarchical structure for neuromophic system, flexible interface users customize design. also detailed reference large-scale applications. embeds estimation models area, power, latency simulate performance To estimate accuracy, behavior-level between error rate parameters considering influence interconnect lines non-ideal device factors. The our accuracy SPICE result less than 1%. Experimental results show that achieves more 7000 times speed-up compared with obtains reasonable accuracy. can further trade-off energy, latency, area among optimization.
