A new design rule for developing a brain inspired computing system based on some recent findings in brain science is proposed and a neuromorphic chip, named `Tianji' chip is designed and fabricated.

Abstract

Although a variety of solutions for neuromorphic systems based on different hardware technology and software programming schemes, there has yet to be a common accepted one. Based on some recent findings in brain science, we propose a new design rule for developing a brain inspired computing system. We design and fabricate a neuromorphic chip, named `Tianji' chip. A multi-chip architecture-based PCB board has been demonstrated. The detailed hardware implementation and software programming scheme are presented in this paper.
