spiNNlink: FPGA-Based Interconnect for the Million-Core SpiNNaker System
SpiNNaker is a massively-parallel computer system optimized for the simulation, in real time, of very large networks of spiking neurons.The system consists of over 1 million, energy-efficient ARM cores distributed over Right Crank Arm 57,600 SpiNNaker chips, each of which contains 18 cores interconnected by a neurobiologically-inspired, asynchronou
