NeuroML2Loihi framework enables C. elegans neural simulation on Intel's Loihi 2 chip

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed NeuroML2Loihi, an open-source framework that translates NeuroML model descriptions into Lava primitives for Intel's Loihi 2 neuromorphic chip. This framework enables standardized biological models, such as those of the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system, to be executed on neuromorphic hardware. Benchmarking against conventional simulation workflows, the NeuroML2Loihi approach demonstrated significantly lower latency and reduced power consumption, indicating the feasibility of standards-based neuromorphic neural simulation.

    Small-scale neural simulation of Caenorhabditis elegans on Loihi-2 using NeuroML2Loihi

    Neural simulation is an essential methodology for studying biological nervous systems, but it remains limited by the computational costs of repeatedly updating neural and synaptic states over many timesteps. Neuromorphic hardware is a promising substrate for this class of workloa…
