The Vertical Framework Applications Programming Common Software Core Models, Implementations 4

The Vertical Framework: Models & Implementations DANNA NIDA mrDANNA 2D, Discrete 2D, Analog Simulation * 3, (GPU Sim) Simulation * 2 3D, Analog FPGA Implementation + Kit Memristors Simulation VLSI design done Chip Fab w Viz * 2 Visualization SUNY Nanotech 5

The Vertical Framework: Models & Implementations • All implement a common interface • Include genetic operations • Other models would be welcome Reservoir • True North • Biomimetic • 6

The Vertical Framework: Applications Control Classification Microapps 8

The Vertical Framework: Applications • All program to a common interface • Include genetic operations (fitness) • Compose a suite of scalable benchmarks • Other applications are welcome: • Helicoptor Brownout • Mix/match with Deep Learning 9

The Vertical Framework: Programming 11

The Vertical Framework: Common Software Core - DeviceModule - NetworkModule - I/O Module - Job Module - Programming Module 12
