MLP simlator (+NeuroSim) V1.0

The MLP+NeuroSim framework was developed by Prof. Shimeng Yu's group (Arizona State University). The model is made publicly available on a non-commercial basis. Copyright of the model is maintained by the developers, and the model is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License

This is the released version 1.0 (July 1st, 2017) for the tool, and this version only supports analog eNVM devices (RRAM or PCM). If you use the tool or adapt the tool in your work or publication, you are required to cite the following reference:

P.-Y. Chen, X. Peng, S. Yu, ※NeuroSim+: An integrated device-to-algorithm framework for benchmarking synaptic devices and array architectures,§ IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), 2017, San Francisco, USA.

For more devices such as SRAM, digital eNVM (RRAM, PCM or STT-MRAM) and FeFET, please go to released version 2.0 (May 1st, 2018) MLP simulator (+NeuroSim) V2.0

If you have logistic questions or comments on the model, please contact Prof. Shimeng Yu, and if you have technical questions or comments, please contact Pai-Yu Chen and Xiaochen Peng.
