CIRCUIT CONFIGURATON

Circuits

Within this framework, circuits represent networks of Topological Associative Memory instances encapsulated in circuit components and connected through pathways.

Circuit configuration

Circuits are specified by a JSON string or the equivalent Python dictionary:

{ "options": {"name": "Reservoir"},
  "hyperparameters": {"default": [2000, 8], "61": [2000, 8]},
  "dataflow": [
    {"component": "input", "plugin": "codec", "send": [11]},
    {"component": "delay", "send": [21], "receive": [11]},
    {"component": "heteroencoder", "send": [51], "receive": [11, 21]},
    {"component": "delay", "send": [61], 
            "receive": [[51, {"slot": 62, "tags": ["permute"]}]]},
    {"component": "delay", "send": [62], 
            "receive": [61], "rate_limit": 3.0},
    {"component": "predictor", "send": [101], "receive": [11, [11, 61]]},
    {"component": "output", "plugin": "codec", "receive": [101]}
  ]}

The above configuration rendered as circuit schematics:

Details and properties

• Circuits are composed of stateful components connected through stateless pathways.
• Dataflow is synchronized, governed by a global clock.
• At every time step, components process their current input and pass it into the output buffer.
• A circuit must include at least one input and one output component.
• Circuits can be nested.
