摘要
Many neuromorphic systems possess rich internal computational structures shaped by their physical dynamics. However, existing metrics characterize only global computation, leaving these local structures unresolved despite their importance for system interpretation, optimization and miniaturization. Here, we introduce local information processing capacity (L-IPC), which represents individual dynamical states as vectors in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and decomposes their computational properties through subspace projections onto nonlinearity orders and memory steps, with the residual quantifying computational irrelevance. Applied to three systems with comparable global capacities (an echo state network, an ion-gating reservoir and a spin-wave reservoir), L-IPC reveals markedly different distributions of computation, ranging from homogeneous to spatially, temporally and spectrally structured patterns. These local profiles further guide task-specific pruning, outperforming standard approaches at the same size in the structured systems. These results establish L-IPC as a general framework for anatomizing computation and guiding task-adaptive design in neuromorphic systems.
