Query: SpinAPS: A High-Performance Spintronic Accelerator for Probabilistic
  Spiking Neural Networks   We discuss a high-performance and high-throughput hardware accelerator for
probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) based on Generalized Linear Model
(GLM) neurons, that uses binary STT-RAM devices as synapses and digital CMOS
logic for neurons. The inference accelerator, termed "SpinAPS" for Spintronic
Accelerator for Probabilistic SNNs, implements a principled direct learning
rule for first-to-spike decoding without the need for conversion from
pre-trained ANNs. The proposed solution is shown to achieve comparable
performance with an equivalent ANN on handwritten digit and human activity
recognition benchmarks. The inference engine, SpinAPS, is shown through
software emulation tools to achieve 4x performance improvement in terms of
GSOPS/W/mm2 when compared to an equivalent SRAM-based design. The architecture
leverages probabilistic spiking neural networks that employ first-to-spike
decoding rule to make inference decisions at low latencies, achieving 75% of
the test performance in as few as 4 algorithmic time steps on the handwritten
digit benchmark. The accelerator also exhibits competitive performance with
other memristor-based DNN/SNN accelerators and state-of-the-art GPUs.
