Abstract: ABSTRACT FRAMEWORK FOR SIMULATION AND CROSS-PLATFORM DEPLOYMENT OF SPIKING NEURAL NETWORK MODELS This disclosure relates generally to framework for simulation and cross-platform deployment of a Spiking Neural Network (SNN). models In conventional approach, SNN model created in hardware-agnostic framework suffer performance issues when deployed in a hardware-specific platform as the current standards for interoperability of the models among multiple frameworks maps only interfaces and does not consider difference in behavior due to different order of atomic computations, decay rates of current and voltage, and the reset mechanisms for membrane potential. The present disclosure overcomes this by creating a hardware abstract library having different flavors of middleware synaptic neuron corresponding to different hardware-specific software frameworks. The variation due to decay rates of current and voltage, and the reset mechanisms for membrane potential are determined and atomic instructions are parameterized using the variations. The hardware abstract library is created for each hardware-specific software framework by determining an order of execution of the atomic instructions. [
