SpiNNaker 2: A 10 Million Core Processor System for Brain Simulation and Machine Learning

Understand

SpiNNaker is an ARM-based processor platform optimized for the simulation of spiking neural networks.

• This brief describes the roadmap in going from the current SPINNaker1 system, a 1 Million core machine in 130nm CMOS, to SpiNNaker2, a 10 Million core machine in 22nm FDSOI.
• Apart from pure scaling, we will take advantage of specific technology features, such as runtime adaptive body biasing, to deliver cutting-edge power consumption.
• Power management of the cores allows a wide range of workload adaptivity, i.e.
