An FPGA Implementation of Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks for Radioisotope Identification
Abstract
This paper details FPGA implementation methodology for Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks (CSNN) and applies this methodology to low-power radioisotope identification using high resolution data. A power consumption of 75 mW has been achieved on an FPGA implementation of a CSNN, with the inference accuracy of 90.62% on a synthetic dataset. The chip validation method is presented. Prototyping was accelerated by evaluating SNN parameters using SpiNNaker neuromorphic platform.
