A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of distributed power generating units, flexible consumers, and storage systems. VPP balances the load on grid by allocating generated different linked units during periods peak load. Demand-side energy equipment, such as Electric Vehicles (EVs) mobile robots, can also balance supply-demand when effectively deployed. However, fluctuation various makes supply challenging goal. Moreover, communication security between aggregator end facilities critical...
Neuromorphic computing systems are an emerging field that takes its inspiration from the biological neural architectures and computations inside mammalian nervous system. The spiking networks (SNNs) mimic real by conveying information through communication of short pulses between neurons. Since each neuron in these is connected to thousands others, high bandwidth required. Moreover, since spike times used encode SNN, very low latency also necessary. On other hand, combination Two-dimensional...
Neuromorphic systems have shown improvements over the years, leveraging Spiking neural networks (SNN) event-driven nature to demonstrate low power consumption. As neuromorphic require high integration form a functional silicon brain-like, moving 3D integrated circuits (3D-ICs) with three-dimensional network on chip (3D-NoC) interconnect is suitable approach that allows scalable design, shorter connections, and lower However, highly dense also encounter reliability issue where single point of...
With the increasing demand for computing machines that more closely model biological brain, field of neuro-inspired has progressed to exploration Spiking Neural Networks (SNN), and best challenges conventional Von Neumann architecture, several hardware-based (neuromorphic) chips have been designed. A neuromorphic chip is based on spiking neurons process input information only when they receive spike signals. Given a sparsely-distributed train, power consumption such event-driven hardware...
Almost every larger city in Europe has ambitious smart projects. This is particularly true for Hamburg, a Hanseatic the north of Germany. Hamburg smartest Germany according to Federal Association Information Technology. Although there are no megacities European Union (the largest Berlin with 3.7 million inhabitants), increasing urbanization apparent and produces problems be solved. At same time rural depopulation creates conjugated problems.One category these mobility. Mobility can regarded...
Neuromorphic computing uses spiking neuron network models to solve machine learning problems in a more energy-efficient way when compared conventional artificial neural networks.However, mapping the various components neuromorphic hardware is not trivial realize desired model for an actual simulation.Moreover, neurons and synapses could be affected by noise due external interference or random actions of other (i.e., neurons), which eventually lead unreliable results.This work proposes...
Application-specific architectures with multiple processing cores integrated a three-dimensional Network-on-Chip (NoC) concept can exploit the parallelism inherent within spiking and non-spiking neural networks to provide low latency high-bandwidth communication. One of critical components in these NoC-based is on-chip routing scheme, which allows data be communicated between also off-chip transported cores. In this work, we present low-latency tree-based multicast spike for scalable...
