Neuromorphic Hardware learns to learn

This repository contains the supportive material for the publication "Neuromorphic Hardware learns to learn" ［1］.

Software model

Install

• Install NEST simulator ［2］
• Install python dependencies listed in requirements.txt e.g.: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Install L2L ［3］ framework
  • Clone from ［3］
  • Switch to branch no-jube
  • Install without the requirements e.g.: pip --no-deps .

Run

• cd software
• mkdir LTL-Logs if not existing
• python -m scoop ltl-SNN-ce.py

Hardware model

The hardware models are included in hardware/*. In order to use it you need access to the BrainScales 2 prototype chips at the University of Heidelberg. Nevertheless, you can examine the hardware specific code (e.g. meta-plasticity network)
