Can I simulate CSNN (Convolutional Spiking Neural Network) on aihwkit ? #413

Closed sauravtii closed 2 years ago

sauravtii commented 2 years ago

Hello! I am new to aihwkit and wanted to ask whether I can simulate Convolutional Spiking Neural Network (CSNN) using aihwkit ? If yes, can anyone please share the necessary resources from where I can get started ? I have a custom CNN and want to convert that to SNN and simulate or run it on aihwkit in order to get the performance metrics (accuracy, latency, energy, etc).

Kind regards, Saurav

Hi @sauravtii , many thanks for the question!

No, we do not support spiking neuromorphic hardware. Just resistive crossbar arrays.

Thank you for your response @maljoras. Is it possible to run or simulate CSNN (Convolutional Spiking Neural Network) using resistive crossbar arrays in order to get the performance metrics ? Or is there any possible way to run SNN using aihwkit ?

No, spiking DNNs are not supported.
