Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for neuromorphic computing in a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). The method includes representing one or more neurons by memory rows in the DRAM. Each bit in any of the memory rows represents a single synapse. The method further includes responsive to activating a given one of the neurons, reinforcing an associated synaptic state of a corresponding one of the memory rows representing the given one of the neurons. The method also includes responsive to inhibiting the given one of the neurons, degrading the associated synaptic state of the corresponding one of the memory rows representing the given one of the neurons.
