Today, recongurable architectures are becoming increas-
ingly popular as the candidate platforms for neural net-
works. Existing works, that map neural networks on re-
congurable architectures, only address either FPGAs or
Networks-on-chip, without any reference to the Coarse-Grain
Recongurable Architectures (CGRAs). In this paper we
investigate the overheads imposed by implementing spiking
neural networks on a Coarse Grained Recongurable Ar-
chitecture (CGRAs). Experimental results (using point to
point connectivity) reveal that up to 1000 neurons can be
connected, with an average response time of 4.4 msec.
