Neuromorphic synthesizer

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for automatically generating an integrated circuit. The method includes receiving a behavioral description of at least the first layer of the neural network, converting the behavioral description of the first layer of the neural network into the computational graph, converting a computational graph to a circuit netlist based on a correlation of: (i) operations described in the computational graph, and (ii) an analog cell library including a plurality of predetermined circuit blocks that describe known neural network operations, generating a circuit layout that corresponds to at least a first layer of a neural network, and performing additional actions configured to cause generation of the integrated circuit based on the circuit layout. In some situations, the behavioral description defines an architecture of machine learning logic that represents at least a portion of the neural network. Additionally, in some situations, each cell of the integrated circuit includes a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor ('MOSFET').
