Review and improve info about Loihi 2

biphasic commented 6 months ago

The website

The code for the live version of open-neuromorphic.org is hosted on the main branch at our GitHub repository. The site contains educational content on neuromorphic software libraries and hardware. To build the website locally, follow these instructions.

What to improve

The current entry for Loihi 2 is located here and would benefit from more detailed info.

Following info should be checked or added in the header:

[ ] release_date. When was the chip released? That means made available for customers to buy/access for industry chips, or the first results published for research chips.
[ ] weight_bits. What are the possible bit resolutions of weights?
[ ] activation_bits. What are the possible bit resolutions of activations?
[ ] neurons. How many neurons fit on one chip? If it depends on the neuron model, provide an example for the most common neuron model. This field can take a (short) sentence if need be.
[ ] synapses. How many synapses for a given neuron config? This field can take a (short) sentence if need be.
[ ] on_chip_learning. Does the chip support on chip learning?

Following info should be added in the text body.

[ ] What makes the chip stand out in neuromorphic computing?
[ ] Practical applications of the chip
[ ] What's the workflow to develop and deploy models for the chip? What are the software toolchains involved?
[ ] Availability to purchase / access
[ ] Scalibility - Can I stack this chip easily?
[ ] Form factors. Are there boards available that can go on small drones? Robots? Data centers?

Following things would be nice to have:

[ ] Links to documents / data sheets that describe the chip.
[ ] Technology and fabrication details.
[ ] Future development roadmap.
[ ] List of publications that show results on the hardware, including date, title, authors and journal/conference.

I'd like to have a go at this - I'm also happy to work with others on this, too.

biphasic commented 6 months ago

Thank you @pritchardn , please go ahead! If others want to chime in they can contribute to your branch.

biphasic commented 6 months ago

@pritchardn do you think you could share a first draft on this? That would others help to get started too!

pritchardn commented 6 months ago

Sure thing! I just pushed a first draft into my fork

Most of the text was already good, the main addition is a brief list of publications.

Great 👍 could you please open a pull request so that I can see it? You can mark it as a draft if you prefer
