Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to a multiplexed neural core circuit. One embodiment comprises a core circuit including a memory device that maintains neuronal attributes for multiple neurons. The memory device has multiple entries. Each entry maintains neuronal attributes for a corresponding neuron. The core circuit further comprises a controller for managing the memory device. In response to neuronal firing events targeting one of said neurons, the controller retrieves neuronal attributes for the target neuron from a corresponding entry of the memory device, and integrates said firing events based on the retrieved neuronal attributes to generate a firing event for the target neuron.
