    Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization estimates gradients using only forward-pass evaluations, making it suitable for fine-tuning non-differentiable, event-driven spiking neural networks (SNNs). However, its deployment on in-memory computing (IMC) accelerators is constrained by the repeated read-modify-write (RMW) operations arising from explicit weight perturbation and the prohibitive hardware footprint of random number generators (RNGs) for...
