  1. 1. Comparing energy efficiency of Leaky integrate-and-fire and Spike response neuron models in Spiking Neural Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Majd Dawli; Imran Bahed Diva; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a type of neural network that is designed to mimic the way neurons function in our brains. While there have been notable advancements in developing SNNs, energy consumption hasn't been studied to the same extent. This gets especially relevant with steadily increasing network sizes.
