Brain-like computing system

Abstract

The invention relates to a brain-like computing system which comprises an arithmetic / logical operation and control unit, a brain-like co-processing unit, a storage unit, an external interface and a bus for connecting the units and the external interface. The arithmetic / logical operation and control unit is used for programming and configuring the brain-like co-processing unit, executing arithmeticoperation or logical operation and controlling operation and data exchange of other units through a bus. The brain-like co-processing unit has an artificial neural network processing function and a pulse neural network processing function, and is used for executing artificial neural network calculation and pulse neural network calculation according to the arithmetic / logical operation and the instruction of the control unit, and storing the calculation result in the storage unit. According to the method, high calculation efficiency can be achieved when different tasks in universal artificial intelligence calculation are processed, real-time correspondence to the tasks is achieved through low-delay continuous execution of the calculation tasks, and meanwhile the calculation operation energyconsumption of the whole system is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence computing, in particular to a brain-like computing system. Background technique [0002] Since von Neumann proposed the computer architecture based on binary and program storage in the 1940s, computers have relied on the continuous improvement of electronic technology and the continuous miniaturization of Moore's Law until today. Relying on the sequential execution of predefined codes and the continuous transfer of data between the memory and the processor via the bus, the computer has powerful numerical processing capabilities. On this basis, people have developed various large-scale software with complex functions, which are widely used in various fields such as military affairs, economy, education and scientific research. The development and progress of science and technology in today's world are inseparable from computers. [0003] The vigorous development of big data information networ...
