Abstract
Neuromorphic computing systems are alternatives to conventional microprocessors, often built from unconventional hardware. Designing and evaluating these systems requires multiple levels of simulation, from the device level to the circuit level to the system level. In this paper, we describe the system level simulator of a neuromorphic computing system based on memristors. We compare it to a circuit level simulator of the same system, both verifying its accuracy and demonstrating its performance improvement. We argue that system level simulation is an essential part of the design process of neuromorphic systems.
