Abstract
AbstractNeuroscience findings emphasize the role of dendritic branching in neocortical pyramidal neurons for non-linear computations and signal processing. Dendritic branches facilitate temporal feature detection via synaptic delays that enable coincidence detection (CD) mechanisms. Spiking neural networks highlight the significance of delays for spatio-temporal pattern recognition in feed-forward networks, eliminating the need for recurrent structures. Here, we introduce DenRAM, a novel analog electronic feed-forward spiking neural network with dendritic compartments. Utilizing 130 nm technology integrated with resistive RAM (RRAM), DenRAM incorporates both delays and synaptic weights. By configuring RRAMs to emulate bio-realistic delays and exploiting their heterogeneity, DenRAM mimics synaptic delays and efficiently performs CD for pattern recognition. Hardware-aware simulations on temporal benchmarks show DenRAM’s robustness against hardware noise, and its higher accuracy over recurrent networks. DenRAM advances temporal processing in neuromorphic computing, optimizes memory usage, and marks progress in low-power, real-time signal processing
