Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Spiking Neural Network (SNN) is one of the promising models of neuromorphic architecture. A learning method using a genetic algorithm is proposed for this SNN. This method enables optimization by adding and removing nodes and edges in the network, in addition to adjusting the weight parameters. In this paper, we propose parallelization, partial C implementation, and hardware acceleration methods for accelerating the training of SNNs with genetic algorithms. We also implement an FPGA using high-level synthesis based on the C language implementation.
