Spiffy: Efficient Implementation of CoLaNET for Raspberry Pi
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
This paper presents a lightweight software-based approach for running spiking neural networks (SNNs) without relying on specialized neuromorphic hardware or frameworks. Instead, we implement a specific SNN architecture (CoLaNET) in Rust and optimize it for common computing platforms. As a case study, we demonstrate our implementation, called Spiffy, on a Raspberry Pi using the MNIST dataset. Spiffy achieves 92% accuracy with low latency - just 0.9 ms per training step and 0.45 ms per inference step. The code is open-source.
