Energy and runtime estimation for running the SNN on neuromorphic simulator

[shreshth-29]

From what I understand, the results are obtained on a neuromorphic simulator (INI for example). It gives the performance metrics, but I was wondering if there was a way to obtain the energy consumption, inference time and the no. of MACC operations as well?

Hi, for the INI simulator, you also get the number of MACC operations, but not energy consumption or inference time because the simulation runs on a GPU and does not reflect truly asynchronous processing on dedicated hardware. See also #70 for an explanation of the logged data.

Thanks for the reply! Now for the snn , we get 'operations' and not 'mac' operations. Are these all accumulate operations or multiply and accumulate?

only accumulate ops in the SNN.
