Built on top of ROSS, *NeMo* features excellent scalability across HPC clusters. *NeMo* is targeted at current neuromorphic hardware designs, and as such currently simulates spiking neural networks in a grid layout, similar to the [IBM TrueNorth Processor](http://science.sciencemag.org/content/345/6197/668.short). +Currently, *NeMo* is in a state of development. The latest working version of NeMo (0.1.0) is available in the branch. The latest master version is a new implementation that will feature improved memory performance along with high performance I/O. The next release will feature more common spiking neural network -> Written with [StackEdit](https://stackedit.io/). +Benchmarks and results of the first edition of *NeMo* is available at the [ACM Digital Library](http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2901378.2901392). + + +Version 0.1.0 supports generating probabilistic networks for benchmarking purposes. It also only supports the IBM TrueNorth neuron specification, [available here](http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6707077&tag=1).
