Machine learning and AI have achieved remarkable advancements but at the cost of significant computational resources energy consumption. This has created an urgent need for a novel, energy-efficient fabric to replace current computing pipeline. Recently, promising approach emerged by mimicking spiking neurons in brain leveraging oscillators on CMOS direct computation. In this context, we propose new efficient machine framework implemented Oscillator Networks (OscNet). We model developmental...
