Abstract
We present parameter-multiplexed gradient descent (PMGD), a perturbative gradient descent framework designed to easily train emergent neuromorphic hardware platforms. We show its applicability to both analog and digital systems. We demonstrate how to use it to train networks with modern machine learning datasets, including Fashion-MNIST and CIFAR-10. Assuming realistic timescales and hardware parameters, our results indicate that PMGD could train a network on emerging hardware platforms orders of magnitude faster than the wall-clock time of training via backpropagation on a standard GPU/CPU.Proceedings Title
