The creators claim that NorthPole design has been driven by 10 axioms inspired by human biology. We will use them as guidelines to analyze the paper.</p> <p>The outline of this blog post is the same as the original article.</p> <h1 id="axiomatic-design">Axiomatic design</h1> <blockquote> <p>NorthPole, an architecture and a programming model for neural inference, reimagines (Fig. 1) the interaction between compute and memory by embodying 10 interrelated, synergistic axioms that build on brain-inspired computing.</p> </blockquote>
