abstract = {Despite the great strides neuroscience has made in recent
decades, the underlying principles of brain function remain
largely unknown. Advancing the field strongly depends on the
ability to study large-scale neural networks and perform
complex simulations. In this context, simulations in
hyper-real-time are of high interest, but even the fastest
supercomputer available today is not able to meet the
challenge of accurate and reproducible simulation with
hyper-real acceleration. The development of novel
neuromorphic computer architectures holds out promise.
Advances in System-on-Chip (SoC) device technology and tools
are now providing interesting new design possibilities for
application-specific implementations. We propose a novel
hybrid software-hardware architecture approach for a
neuromorphic compute node intended to work in a multi-node
cluster configuration. The node design builds on the Xilinx
Zynq-7000 SoC device architecture that combines a powerful
programmable logic gate array (FPGA) and a dual-core ARM
Cortex-A9 processor extension on a single chip. Although
high acceleration can be achieved at low workloads, the
development also reveals current technological limitations
that also apply to CPU implementations of neural network
simulation tools.},
