Which neuromorphic ASICs are you thinking of? GPUs are fast and they work now. Some "neuromorphic" chips, like IBM's True North, are just low-energy GPUs, so neuromorphic is in the eyes of the beholder...
- emcq 11y agoThis is not very accurate. The true North chip places memory next to compute elements on chip. GPUs have most memory off chip. The true North hardware is specialized to neural net stuff, and doesn't allow general floating point compute, have any sort of instruction set decoder, etc. That turns into big performance and power wins.
