Training a Spiking Neural Network Taking into Account the Operational Features of a Memristive Crossbar Array
摘要
Abstract
A model, methodology, and software tools for simulating a spiking neural network (SNN) in the training mode are developed, taking into account the operating features of memristive crossbar arrays. The influence of voltage drops on interconnections, discrete step of tuning conductance levels of memristive elements and nonlinearity of their volt-ampere (I–V) characteristics on the efficiency of execution of training algorithms of an SNN is studied. The results of testing an SNN in the training mode and inference mode in the problem of image recognition are obtained using the developed modeling technique taking into account the characteristics of experimentally manufactured memristive structures.
