The authors introduce a parallel conversion method that maps artificial neural network activations to ordered spiking outputs, allowing time-step calculations together rather than simulating neuron updates serially. Calibration adjusts activation distributions without fine-tuning model weights. On ImageNet-1k, calibrated ResNet-34 reaches 72.90% accuracy at four steps, versus 74.30% for its source network; this is a step-count, not elapsed-time comparison.
