Abstract
A computer based on a spiking neural network, includes at least one maximum pooling layer. In response to an input spike received by a neuron of the maximum pooling layer, the device is configured so as to receive the address of the activated synapse. The device comprises an address comparator configured so as to compare the address of the activated synapse with a set of reference addresses. Each reference address is associated with a hardness value and with a pooling neuron. The device activates a neuron of the maximum pooling layer if the address of the activated synapse is equal to one of the reference addresses and the hardness value associated with this reference address has the highest value from among the hardness values associated with the other reference addresses of the set.
