If you have a question about this talk, please contact Prof Simon Moore. Neural network simulation is an example of an embarrassingly-parallel problem with complex communication patterns. The neurons being simulated are inherently parallel but the spike messages between them exhibit complex patterns. We consider GPUs as a possible simulation platform, but discover that their methods of processing and communication make them unsuited to the task. As an alternative we propose a simulation platform consisting of a network of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), connected using integrated high-speed serial transceivers. This system is much more suited to the complex communication patterns and real-time requirements of an extreme-scale neural network simulation.
