Parallel genetic algorithms (PGAs) can be used to accelerate optimization by exploiting large-scale computational resources. In this work, we describe a PGA framework for evolving spiking neural networks (SNNs) for neuromorphic hardware implementation. The PGA framework is based on an islands model with migration. We show that using this framework, better SNNs for neuromorphic systems can be evolved faster.
