Abstract

SpiNDeK (Spiking Neural Network Design Kit) is an integrated design tool intended to support the development of emulation of complex bioinspired neural networks. In this work, the most relevant aspects of the tool are reported, regarding the generation of connections as well as synapse and neuron parameters of spiking neural networks as well as the automated code generation and simulation, ready to be executed by an ad-hoc parallel architecture. The tool is fully functional and has demonstrated its usefulness.
