Certain aspects of the present disclosure support a method of designing the resource model in hardware (or software) for learning spiking neural networks. The present disclosure comprises accounting for resources in a different domain (e.g., negative log lack-of-resources instead of availability of resources), modulating weight changes for multiple spike events upon a single trigger, and strategically advancing or retarding the resource replenishment or decay (respectively) to overcome the limitation of single event-based triggering.
