Application-specific network-on-chip design space exploration framework for neuromorphic processor

Neuromorphic processors can support the design of various Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) to deal with different tasks, such as recognition and tracking. Neuromorphic processors use Network-on-Chip (NoC) to support communication between neurons in SNN. The different SNN has different communication traffic patterns. It will pose the different challenges of the NoC designing. A reasonable NoC architecture can improve the overall performance such as lower latency of the processor. Hence, it is critical to implement the exploration of NoC architecture design for neuromorphic processors.
