Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform

Platform for the spiking neural network execution.

The Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform ("KNP" or "platform") is a software platform for developing, training and executing spiking neural networks on a variety of computers.

You can use Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform to do the following:

• Create spiking neural networks (SNNs) and train these on various types of input data, such as telemetry, events, images, 3D data, audio, and tactile data.
• Convert artificial neural networks (ANNs) into spiking networks and train these.
• Conduct applied research in the field of input data classification and other application domains of neural networks.
• Develop new neural network topologies, for example, impulse analogs of convolutional neural networks that involve convolution in space and time.
• Develop new models of synaptic plasticity.
• Implement new neuron models.
• Implement application solutions based on neuromorphic spiking neural networks in the field of robotic manipulators, Internet of Things, unmanned systems, human-machine interaction, wearable devices, and optimization planning.
• Implement application solutions on devices with low power consumption using neuromorphic processors.

You can use the C++ and Python languages to accomplish these tasks. The platform supports CPUs, GPUs with CUDA support, as well as the AltAI-2 neuromorphic processing unit designed for power-efficient execution of neural networks on various classes of smart devices.

For information on the platform concepts and architecture, installation instructions and platform use cases, see Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform Help.

Only versions of repository with release tags have release quality. If you use the source code from master branch or a build compiled from master branch, you may get code and build with errors and vulnerabilities.

Hardware and software requirements

For Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform operation, the computer must meet the following minimum requirements.

Minimum hardware requirements:

• CPU: Intel Core i5 or higher compatible processor
• GPU with CUDA support: NVIDIA GPU using Pascal or higher
• Neuromorphic processing unit (if needed): AltAI-2
• 8 GB of RAM
• Available hard drive space:
  • 1 GB for installing Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform.
  • 10 GB for building the platform or an application solution build.

Supported operating systems:

• Debian GNU/Linux 12.5 or later
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or later
• Windows 7
• Windows 10

You can use the device running any other operating system from the Linux family, if the operating system distribution kit contains the Boost library version 1.81 or later.
