Abstract
Techniques are provided for learning static bound management parameters for an analog resistive processing unit system which is configured for neuromorphic computing. For example, a system comprises one or more processors which are configured to: perform a first training process to train a first artificial neural network model; perform a second training process to retrain the first artificial neural network model using matrix-vector compute operations which are a function of bound management parameters of an analog resistive processing unit system, to thereby generate a second artificial neural network model with learned static bound management parameters; and configure the resistive processing unit system to implement the second artificial neural network model and the learned static bound management parameters.
