sinabs 2.0.0

SynSense Spiking Neural Network simulator for deep neural networks (DNNs).

Sinabs (Sinabs Is Not A Brain Simulator) is a python library for the development and implementation of Spiking Convolutional Neural Networks (SCNNs). The library implements several layers that are spiking equivalents of CNN layers. In addition it provides support to import CNN models implemented in torch conveniently to test their spiking equivalent implementation. This project is managed by SynSense (former aiCTX AG).

The sinabs-dynapcnn was incorporated to this project, and it enables porting sinabs models to chips and dev-kits with DYNAP-CNN technology.

For the stable release on the main branch:

pip install sinabs

or (thanks to @Tobias-Fischer)

conda install -c conda-forge sinabs

For the latest pre-release on the develop branch that passed the tests:
