An End-to-End DNN Inference Framework for the SpiNNaker2 Neuromorphic MPSoC

Abstract

This work presents a multi-layer DNN scheduling framework as an extension of OctopuScheduler, providing an end-to-end flow from PyTorch models to inference on a single SpiNNaker2 chip. Together with a front-end comprised of quantization and lowering steps, the proposed framework enables the edge-based execution of large and complex DNNs up to transformer scale using the neuromorphic platform SpiNNaker2.
