NeuroVP: A System-Level Virtual Platform for Integration of Neuromorphic Accelerators

Executing neural network (NN) applications on general-purpose processors result in a large power and performance overhead, due to the high cost of data movement between the processor and the main memory. Neuromorphic computing systems based on memristor crossbars, perform the NN main operation i.e., vector-matrix multiplications (VMM) in an efficient way in the analog domain. Thus, they circumvent...
