Query: Verification and Design Methods for the BrainScaleS Neuromorphic
  Hardware System   This paper presents verification and implementation methods that have been
developed for the design of the BrainScaleS-2 65nm ASICs. The 2nd generation
BrainScaleS chips are mixed-signal devices with tight coupling between
full-custom analog neuromorphic circuits and two general purpose
microprocessors (PPU) with SIMD extension for on-chip learning and plasticity.
Simulation methods for automated analysis and pre-tapeout calibration of the
highly parameterizable analog neuron and synapse circuits and for
hardware-software co-development of the digital logic and software stack are
presented. Accelerated operation of neuromorphic circuits and highly-parallel
digital data buses between the full-custom neuromorphic part and the PPU
require custom methodologies to close the digital signal timing at the
interfaces. Novel extensions to the standard digital physical implementation
design flow are highlighted. We present early results from the first full-size
BrainScaleS-2 ASIC containing 512 neurons and 130K synapses, demonstrating the
successful application of these methods. An application example illustrates the
full functionality of the BrainScaleS-2 hybrid plasticity architecture.
