Researchers have developed a new method called Implicit Perturbation ZO (IPZO) to improve the efficiency of fine-tuning spiking neural networks (SNNs) on in-memory computing (IMC) accelerators. This approach addresses limitations in gradient estimation for non-differentiable SNNs by reducing redundant operations and hardware requirements for perturbation generation. The proposed PGU-XOR technique, a key component of IPZO, demonstrates comparable accuracy to software-based methods while significantly decreasing area and energy overhead on hardware. AI
