  2. Neuron 2 w2 Neuron 2 w2 Neuron 1 w1 Neuron 1 w1 Neuron 3 w3 Neuron 3 w3 Neuron 4 w4 Neuron 4 w4 Project Aim • The aim of this project is to develop reconfigurable network connectivity in a Spiking Neural Network.

  3. Project Aim • A Multiplexer System is proposed to be used to provide the dynamic connectivity in between neurons. • System consists of • 4 Multiplexer Boards – 16 Multiplexers • A Base Board

  4. Multiplexer System

  5. Multiplexer System • The core responsibility in the project has been to test the Multiplexer System if it functions properly. • In order to test the system, I had to; • Gain skills in Programming IO Cards • Improve Digital and Analogue Electronics Knowledge • Figure out the connections in the system • Manipulate the Amplicon connector

  6. PC Controlled MUX System 16 WR lines Amplicon PCI 272 4 Address lines 16 inputs NIDAQ x 4 16 outputs Power up Mux System, VDD-GND Programming IO Cards • The IO Cards used in the project • NIDAQ 6009 USB x 4 • Amplicon PCI 272

  7. Testing MUX System

  8. Testing MUX System • In order to have a stable testing environment an Interface Board has been designed so that System has solid connections. • By the help of Interface Board, user only has to run the software to complete a full test. • i.e. avoiding user from getting into connection details of the system

  9. Testing MUX System • Interface Board sits in between 4 NIDAQ Devices and MUX System

  10. Testing MUX System

  11. Testing MUX System - Algorithm

  12. Testing MUX System - Algorithm • Testing is performed using digital inputs and outputs • Testing strategy is based on • Checking every single input line • Checking every address line • Checking every control bits (WR lines) • Checking every single output line • The testing strategy finds out if • Each Multiplexer operates properly itself • Multiplexers interfere with each other

  13. Results • It is found out that one of the Boards has a Multiplexer which is not functioning correctly (Board 1-MUX 0) • The ports for Input line 3 have been both grounded and they never work for any Multiplexer. The reason originates from a problem on Base Board.

  14. Results • Board 1 – Mux 0 will have to be produced from the scratch. It affects the operations of other Multiplexers. • The problem with Input Line 3 does not necessarily stop us progressing as in the proposed system Input Line 3 is not used.

  15. Additional Skills Gained • The Concept of FPAA Technology • The design and simulation of FPAAs using Anadigm Designer 2 Software • Insights of Neural Networks • Hardware Skills
