6.1 Introduction

An embedded system, as the name suggests, is the combination of a processor (single/multi-core), memory and several peripheral devices that define/execute a task within a larger entity/system, often electronic or mechanical. Recent advances in the area of neuromorphic embedded systems have introduced many parallel core architectures. A recently reported research example is the spiking neural network architecture, often referred to as SpiNNaker, designed with 57,600 processing nodes, each with 18 ARM968 ...
