A method for increasing a speed or energy efficiency at which a computer is capable of modeling a plurality of random walkers. The method includes defining a virtual space in which a plurality of virtual random walkers will move among different locations in the virtual space. The method also includes either assigning a corresponding set of ringed neurons in a spiking neural network to a corresponding virtual random walker, or assigning a corresponding set of ringed neurons to a point in the virtual space. Movement of a given virtual random walker is tracked by decoding differences between states of individual neurons in a corresponding given set of ringed neurons. A virtual random walk of the plurality of virtual random walkers is executed using the spiking neural network. | |
