Abstract
Array-integrated upstream/downstream routers for circuit-switched parallel connectivity are provided. A system comprises an array of neural cores having at least one dimension, a plurality of signal wires, and a plurality of routers. Each neural core comprises a plurality of ordered input wires, a plurality of ordered output wires, and a plurality of synapses, each synapse operatively coupled to one of the plurality of input wires and one of the plurality of output wires. The plurality of signal wires are disposed along each dimension of the array of neural cores. Each router is operatively coupled to one of the plurality of neural cores and to at least one signal wire along each dimension of the array of neural cores. Each of the plurality of routers is adapted to selectively route a signal from the at least one signal wire to its coupled neural core. Each of the plurality of routers is adapted to selectively route a signal from its coupled neural core to the at least one signal wire.
