Abstract
The SpiNNaker neuromimetic architecture is a biologically-inspired massively-parallel architecture based on a custom-made multicore System-on-Chip (SoC). In order to deal with the challenging and atypical communication demands of spiking neural networks, SpiNNaker features a specialised, ad hoc communication infrastructure based around a custom-made multicast router. This paper summarizes the main research work
around the peculiarities of SpiNNaker's architecture and
interconnects focusing on the most exceptional features of the
platform. We derived the main topological properties of the
network, analyzed the effects of failures congestion and traffic
burstiness in the stability of the interconnect and, finally,
proposed a collection of multicast routing algorithms.
