Abstract

A neuro-synaptic processing circuitry (1) for performing event-based neuro-synaptic operations based on synaptic weights and neuron states, the circuitry comprising: a data memory (100) configured to store the synaptic weights; one or more neuron processing elements, NPEs, (121, 122, 123, 124) configurable to execute NPE instructions (120) for performing the event-based neuro-synaptic operations; a controller (130) configured to determine the event-based neuro-synaptic operations in function of one or more neuro-synaptic events; wherein the controller is further configured to generate the NPE instructions from the event-based neuro-synaptic operations; and weight-evaluating means configured to determine if one or more of the synaptic weights have a value of zero; and wherein, if the weight-evaluating means determines one or more of the synaptic weights having a value of zero, the NPEs are configured to omit executing one or more of the NPE instructions involving the one or more of the synaptic weights having a value of zero.
