Spiking Neuromorphic Circuits for Solving Finite Element Problems

A spiking neuromorphic circuit that instantiates a finite element methods (FEM) mesh is provided. The circuit comprises a number of groups of spiking neurons, wherein each group of spiking neurons represents a mesh node in the FEM mesh, wherein the FEM mesh represents a linear system. A bias current represents conditions in the linear system. Interaction weights between adjacent mesh nodes are proportional to the linear system represented by the FEM mesh. The spiking neurons within each group of spiking neurons spike in a manner that flows to a solution variable for the respective mesh node.
