"This thesis presents a novel, highly flexible approach to plasticity and learning in\r\nbrain-inspired computing systems. A classical digital processor was combined with\r\nlocal analog processing to achieve flexibility and efficiency. In particular, this allows\r\nfor the implementation of modulated spike-timing dependent plasticity. The approach\r\nwas formalized into an abstract hybrid hardware model. This model was used to\r\nsimulate a reward-based learning task to estimate the effect of hardware constraints.\r\nTo investigate the feasibility of the proposed architecture, a synthesizeable plasticity\r\nprocessor was designed and tested using the CoreMark general purpose benchmark\r\n(best score: 1.89 per MHz). The processor was also produced as part of a 65 nm proto-\r\ntype chip, requiring 0.14 mm2 of die-area, and reaching a maximum clock frequency of\r\n769 MHz. In a preparatory step a non-programmable plasticity implementation was\r\ndeveloped, that is now part of the operational BrainScaleS wafer-scale system. This\r\ndesign was later extended with the plasticity processor to implement the proposed\r\nhybrid architecture. Simulations show a speed improvement of 42 % over the non-\r\nprogrammable variant. By preparation for production, the area requirement for the\r\ndigital part is estimated to be 6.2 % of total area.\r\n"^^ . "2013" . . . . . . . "Simon"^^ . "Friedmann"^^ .
