description This paper presents a test bed demonstration of NeuroEdge computing for face recognition using a novel neuromorphic chip-NM500. First, a general description and important specifications of the NM500 are presented. Second, a face recognition test-bed case study is used to demonstrate the efficacy and efficiency of the chip. Neuromorphic technology offers scalability and consistent recognition time, which is required by real-time networked systems, and presents a considerable advantage for real-time computations, making them virtually independent of the dataset size. In this study, intelligent edge computing technology was introduced using NeuroEdge. The performance was verified using a face recognition test. The results demonstrated that using neuromorphic technology, such as the NM500 chip, saves the time needed for training systems and does not impose the burden of requiring many datasets for effective training.
