## Installation
Note that SpikingJelly is based on PyTorch. Please make sure that you have installed PyTorch before you install SpikingJelly.
**Version notes**
The odd version number is the developing version, updated with the GitHub/OpenI repository. The even version number is the stable version and is available at PyPI.
The default doc is for the latest developing version. If you are using the stable version, do not forget to switch to the doc in the corresponding version.
From the version `0.0.0.0.14`, modules including `clock_driven` and `event_driven` are renamed. Please refer to the tutorial [Migrate From Old Versions](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/0.0.0.0.14/activation_based_en/migrate_from_legacy.html).
If you use an old version of SpikingJelly, you may encounter some fatal bugs. Refer to [Bugs History with Releases](./bugs.md) for more details.
**Docs for different versions:**
- [zero](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/zero/)
- [0.0.0.0.4](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/0.0.0.0.4/#index-en)
- [0.0.0.0.6](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/0.0.0.0.6/#index-en)
- [0.0.0.0.8](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/0.0.0.0.8/#index-en)
- [0.0.0.0.10](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/0.0.0.0.10/#index-en)
- [0.0.0.0.12](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/0.0.0.0.12/#index-en)

- [latest](https://spikingjelly.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/latest/#index-en)
**Install the last stable version from** [**PyPI**](https://pypi.org/project/spikingjelly/):
```bash
pip install spikingjelly
```
**Install the latest developing version from the source code**:
From [GitHub](https://github.com/fangwei123456/spikingjelly):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/fangwei123456/spikingjelly.git
cd spikingjelly
python setup.py install
```
From [OpenI](https://openi.pcl.ac.cn/OpenI/spikingjelly):
```bash
git clone https://openi.pcl.ac.cn/OpenI/spikingjelly.git
cd spikingjelly
python setup.py install
```
## Build SNN In An Unprecedented Simple Way
SpikingJelly is user-friendly. Building SNN with SpikingJelly is as simple as building ANN in PyTorch:
```python
nn.Sequential(
layer.Flatten(),
layer.Linear(28 * 28, 10, bias=False),
neuron.LIFNode(tau=tau, surrogate_function=surrogate.ATan())
)
```
This simple network with a Poisson encoder can achieve 92% accuracy on the MNIST test dataset. Read refer to the tutorial for more details. You can also run this code in a Python terminal for training on classifying MNIST:
```python
python -m spikingjelly.activation_based.examples.lif_fc_mnist -tau 2.0 -T 100 -device cuda:0 -b 64 -epochs 100 -data-dir -amp -opt adam -lr 1e-3 -j 8
```
## Fast And Handy ANN-SNN Conversion
SpikingJelly implements a relatively general ANN-SNN Conversion interface. Users can realize the conversion through PyTorch. What's more, users can customize the conversion mode.
```python
class ANN(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.network = nn.Sequential(
nn.Conv2d(1, 32, 3, 1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(32, eps=1e-3),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.AvgPool2d(2, 2),
nn.Conv2d(32, 32, 3, 1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(32, eps=1e-3),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.AvgPool2d(2, 2),
nn.Conv2d(32, 32, 3, 1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(32, eps=1e-3),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.AvgPool2d(2, 2),
nn.Flatten(),
nn.Linear(32, 10)
)
def forward(self,x):
x = self.network(x)
return x
```
This simple network with analog encoding can achieve 98.44% accuracy after conversion on MNIST test dataset. Read the tutorial for more details. You can also run this code in a Python terminal for training on classifying MNIST using the converted model:
```python
>>> import spikingjelly.activation_based.ann2snn.examples.cnn_mnist as cnn_mnist
>>> cnn_mnist.main()
```
## CUDA-Enhanced Neuron
SpikingJelly provides two backends for multi-step neurons. You can use the user-friendly `torch` backend for easily coding and debugging and use `cupy` backend for faster training speed.
The following figure compares the execution time of two backends of Multi-Step LIF neurons (`float32`):
`float16` is also provided by the `cupy` backend and can be used in [automatic mixed precision training](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/amp_examples.html).
To use the `cupy` backend, please install [CuPy](https://docs.cupy.dev/en/stable/install.html). Note that the `cupy` backend only supports GPU, while the `torch` backend supports both CPU and GPU.
## Device Supports
- [x] Nvidia GPU
- [x] CPU
As simple as using PyTorch.
```python
>>> net = nn.Sequential(layer.Flatten(), layer.Linear(28 * 28, 10, bias=False), neuron.LIFNode(tau=tau))
>>> net = net.to(device) # Can be CPU or CUDA devices
```

abstract = {Spiking neural networks (SNNs) aim to realize brain-inspired intelligence on neuromorphic chips with high energy efficiency by introducing neural dynamics and spike properties. As the emerging spiking deep learning paradigm attracts increasing interest, traditional programming frameworks cannot meet the demands of automatic differentiation, parallel computation acceleration, and high integration of processing neuromorphic datasets and deployment. In this work, we present the SpikingJelly framework to address the aforementioned dilemma. We contribute a full-stack toolkit for preprocessing neuromorphic datasets, building deep SNNs, optimizing their parameters, and deploying SNNs on neuromorphic chips. Compared to existing methods, the training of deep SNNs can be accelerated 11×, and the superior extensibility and flexibility of SpikingJelly enable users to accelerate custom models at low costs through multilevel inheritance and semiautomatic code generation. SpikingJelly paves the way for synthesizing truly energy-efficient SNN-based machine intelligence systems, which will enrich the ecology of neuromorphic computing. Motivation and introduction of the software framework SpikingJelly for spiking deep learning.}}
