Abstract

Recurrent, spiking neuromorphic systems (RSNS’s) have several desirable features compared to conventional neural networks when applied to applications that require real-time control. The TENNLab Exploratory Neuromorphic Computing Framework contains a variety of real-time control applications that use LIDAR for input, and allow a trained RSNS to make real-time decisions for navigation, surveillance and targeting. While each application is interesting on its own, the collection of applications is very useful for benchmarking RSNS’ s, evaluating training algorithms, and designing neuromorphic processing elements. In this paper, we describe the applications that compose the suite, and use them to benchmark four different RSNS’s.
