Live demonstration: A scaled-down version of the BrainScaleS wafer-scale neuromorphic system

Abstract

This demonstration is based on the wafer-scale neuromophic system presented in the previous papers by Schemmel et. al. (20120), Scholze et. al. (2011) and Millner et. al. (2010). The demonstration setup will allow the visitors to monitor and partially manipulate the neural events at every level. They will get an insight into the complex interplay between packet-based and realtime communication necessary to combine continuous-time mixed-signal neural networks with a packet-based transport network. Several network experiments implemented on the setup will be accessible for user interaction.
