Conference: NSF International Workshop on Large Scale Neuromorphic Computing

研讨会将与2022年神经形态系统(ICON)国际会议同时举行。神经形态信息处理寻求发展人工神经系统，其设计原理是基于生物神经系统的。这种模式的优势，包括低能量、容错计算和终身学习，使这项技术成为下一代边缘人工智能系统的合理候选者。本项目是一个为期半天的大规模神经形态计算基础设施的研究研讨会。本次研讨会将汇聚全球公认的神经形态计算及其应用领域的领导者以及国家公认的HPC领导者，就开发大规模神经形态计算系统并将其融合到不同的网络基础设施中的机会和挑战展开讨论。拟议的研讨会旨在学术界、工业、应用部门和国家研究实验室的专家之间建立持续的对话，以确定方向并加速神经形态研究活动，以满足未来的网络基础设施需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Neuromorphic Systems (ICONS) 2022. Neuromorphic information processing seeks to develop artificial neural systems, whose design principles are based on biological nervous systems. Advantages of this paradigm including low-energy fault-tolerant computing and life-long learning make this technology logical candidate for the next generation of AI systems at the edge.The present project is a half-day research workshop on large scale neuromorphic computing infrastructure. This workshop will bring together globally recognized leaders in neuromorphic computing and its application domains as well as nationally recognized HPC leaders to initiate discussions on the opportunities and challenges in developing large scale neuromorphic computing systems and merging them into heterogeneous cyberinfrastructure. The proposed workshop is intended to establish a continuous dialog between experts in academia, industry, application sectors, and national research labs, to shape the direction and accelerate neuromorphic research activities towards addressing the future cyberinfrastructure needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
