What is Neuromorphic Hardware?
Neuromorphic hardware utilizes brain-inspired chips and systems.
Neuromorphic hardware (NH) implements neuro-morphic computations through specialized chips and hardware systems, inspired by the architecture of the biological brain. NH is crucial for practically realizing energy-efficient and adaptive AI systems. NH employs various technologies: from memristors and spiking neurons to event-driven architectures and massively parallel processing. With the development of neuromorphic chips (Intel Loihi, IBM TrueNorth), NH has become more accessible.
