A new supervised learning algorithm, SNN/LP, is proposed for Spiking Neural Networks. This novel algorithm uses limited precision for both synaptic weights and synaptic delays; 3 bits in each case. Also a genetic algorithm is used for the supervised training. The results are comparable or better than previously published work. The results are applicable to the realization of large scale hardware neural networks. One of the trained networks is implemented in programmable hardware.
