This paper presents the LEMS2HDL toolsuite which converts Low Entropy Model Specification (LEMS) neuron/neural network models to synthesisable Hardware Description Language (HDL) hardware descriptions. The LEMS2HDL process will provide a route for the neuroscience community to perform accelerated Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware implementations of the growing library of LEMS neuron/neural network models. The paper describes the LEMS to HDL conversion process and references the previously reported vicilogic platform. The paper compares the resulting FPGA hardware simulation of three LEMS neuron models with the LEMS model simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
