Researchers have developed an Event-triggered Implicit Perturbation (IPZO) architecture to improve the efficiency of fine-tuning spiking neural networks (SNNs) on in-memory computing (IMC) accelerators. This new approach eliminates redundant read-modify-write operations and reduces the hardware footprint of random number generators by generating perturbations only for activated weights. The IPZO architecture, particularly with the PGU-XOR scheme, demonstrates comparable accuracy to software-based methods while significantly reducing energy consumption and area overhead compared to previous perturbation methods.
