Abstract
Neuromorphic computing systems are attractive for real-time control at the edge because of their low power operation, real-time processing capabilities and their potential ability to do online learning. In this work, we describe an approach for performing real-time evolution of spiking neural networks for neuromorphic systems at the edge called Neuromorphic Optimization using Dynamic Evolutionary Systems or NODES. We apply this approach to real-time combustion engine control and develop an engine-specific hardware platform for NODES called FireBox. We demonstrate how the real-time evolution approach works in simulation and the performance of networks trained in simulation on the physical engine.
