Programming Spiking Neural Networks on Intel’s Loihi

22 Μαρτίου 2018 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Loihi is Intel’s novel, manycore neuromorphic processor and is the first of its kind to feature a microcode-programmable learning engine that enables on-chip training of spiking neural networks (SNNs). The authors present the Loihi toolchain, which consists of an intuitive Python-based API for specifying SNNs, a compiler and runtime for…

Supercapacitor technology could make tiny accelerometers as much as 1 million times more sensitive Photo: Ezzat Bakhoum Accelerometers are everywhere. You’ve probably got at least one on your person right now. But today’s run-of-the-mill accelerometers—MEMS devices that measure a minute change in capacitance—just aren’t very sensitive. They’re built to fit…
